The Johnson School of Business, in partnership with the School of Hotel Administration and the Applied Economics and Management Program at Cornell University, today will launch Business@Cornell, a new discussion series to be webcast live, drawing together faculty experts and Johnson alumni to discuss pressing issues impacting the business world.
The series debut, “Market Crisis Unraveled: From Wall Street to Main Street,” will feature three experts discussing the issues of real estate finance, the market’s reaction to the bailout and the effect on the economy. The discussion will take place at 3 p.m. (EST) on Thursday, October 23rd, and will be available through streaming video at the following link: http://tinyurl.com/BusinessAtCornell
Panelists will include Daniel Quan, professor of real estate at the School of Hotel Administration; Bob Andolina, visiting senior lecturer of finance at the Johnson School; and Ori Heffetz, associate professor of economics at the Johnson School.
Quan, an expert in real estate and real estate finance who specializes in securitization and structured finance, was chief mortgage economist at the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve in Washington, DC, before joining the Cornell community. Andolina, a Johnson alumnus, recently retired from Lehman Brothers after 19 years in the equities business. And Heffetz examines the cultural aspects of economic behavior, such as conspicuous consumption, where consumers buy visible goods in an effort to advertise their wealth and climb the social ladder.
In addition to offering a unique set of perspectives on the unfolding financial crisis, the new Business@Cornell series also provides an opportunity for prospective applicants to get a feel for the Johnson School community and the kinds of events available to students. So tune in!
