Stock markets around the world have experienced turbulent highs and lows in recent weeks – including the Dow’s dramatic 800-point loss, the worst of 2019 – as the ongoing trade war between the United States and China now shows signs of slowing the global economy.
Hofstra University Provost and Professor of Economics Herman Berliner can help make sense of the volatility that has struck the market, which has shown conflicting evidence of both a potential recession as well as robust consumer growth.
Dr. Berliner has been featured in media outlets including NBC News 4 New York, Fox 5 NY, NPR, Newsday, and News 12 Long Island, on topics ranging from the U.S.-China trade war to credit card rates and changes to the federal tax plan.
Dr. Berliner is focused on increasing and promoting global business programs, student entrepreneurship, and other experiential learning.

Alan Singer, professor emeritus of learning, teaching, and technology, appears in a Newsday article about how teachers are approaching the 25th anniversary of 9/11 in their classrooms. “For the generation that lived through 9/11, it was a day that will live in infamy,” he said. “But for [younger] people, it may not. So the question then becomes, what do we want kids to learn about 9/11?”

After an EF1 tornado touched down in Atlantic Beach on August 20, Dr. Jase Bernhardt, associate professor of geology, environment, and sustainability, talked to Newsday about this rare occurrence. Some parts of the country – particularly in the central United States – are more likely to have the atmospheric conditions required to form a tornado. One key condition these cyclones require is “a clashing of contrasting air masses,” said Bernhardt. “We just don’t have the ingredients that are necessary. The water around the island tends to moderate the climate a bit.”

Lawrence Levy, associate vice president and executive dean of Hofstra University’s National Center for Suburban Studies, was interviewed by Newsday about the decline in ICE arrests on Long Island. This stands in contrast to the rest of the country where nearly 50,000 people were arrested in July, the highest number since President Donald Trump’s second term. Levy said the trend, if the data is accurate, suggests that organized opposition to aggressive immigration enforcement by Latino and non-Latino residents and organizations may be having an impact.
