Excerpt from Bloomberg Businessweek -- "'The finance industry of 1900 was just as able as the finance industry of 2010 to produce loans, bonds, and stocks, and it was certainly doing it more cheaply,' says Thomas Phillippon. ... the 'finance industry’s share of [gross domestic product] is about 2 percentage points higher than it needs to be, and this would represent an annual misallocation of resources of about $280 billion for the U.S. alone.'"

Excerpt from the Next American City's Forefront -- "'The success or failure of the Urbanization Project doesn’t hinge on the success or failure of the Honduras experiment,' said Henry, who is already looking ahead to the opening of NYU Shanghai in 2013. 'The story in emerging markets is cities.' With twin campuses in both the Middle East and China, perhaps no business school is better positioned to lead the charge than Stern, with Romer in the vanguard chartering new ones. If the REDs are really a tool for imagining an urban future, then the one thing everyone involved wants to see — or fears — are dollar signs."

From the CVS Brand to Nike Deodorant? Study Shows How Marketers Can Persuade Consumers to Switch
May 14, 2012
New research by Professor Tom Meyvis and co-authors suggests consumers are more willing to switch their preference from a low-status brand to an extension of a premium brand that isn’t a natural fit for the product category when marketers add a picture of the product in question or allow consumers to compare brands rather than judge each brand separately.

Prof. Arun Sundararajan on why privacy risk is Facebook's biggest challenge
May 13, 2012
Excerpt from Gigaom -- "'I think the single biggest driver of risk for Facebook … comes down to ‘are they able to strike the right privacy balance?’,' [Sundararajan] told me during a recent interview. It’s kind of a chicken-and-egg problem: Facebook has to use and monetize consumer data into ad revenues to justify its lofty valuation, Sundararajan explained, but if it goes too far and turns off users, it risks losing those very users whose data it relies upon."
-
Excerpt from The New York Times -- "'I think the main factor holding long-term rates down now is very weak global economic growth, and I don’t see that changing soon,' [Damodaran] said. One indication that the world had truly recovered from the financial crisis would be a rise in 10-year Treasury yields to 4 percent, he said, but he did not see that prospect as imminent."
-
Excerpt from Bloomberg -- "'We think of JP Morgan as being one of the more systemic institutions because it is so big,' said Engle, who helped develop a model of systemic risk at the Stern school’s Volatility Institute. 'But because it is big, a loss like this is not going to bring it to its knees.'"
-
Excerpt from The Wall Street Journal -- "Aswath Damodaran, a finance professor at New York University and an expert on valuation, says Facebook probably is fairly valued at around $75 billion to $80 billion, assuming its revenues and earnings keep rising briskly and it can keep profit margins near 30%."

Prof. Kim Schoenholtz on Germany's central bank accepting higher inflation in Germany
May 10, 2012
Excerpt from Bloomberg Businessweek -- " ... the only way the euro zone as a whole can stick to its inflation target is for the stronger countries, such as Germany, to permit inflation rates above the euro zone average. ... 'It’s simple arithmetic,' says Kermit Schoenholtz, director of the Center for Global Economy & Business at New York University’s Stern School of Business."
-
Excerpt from CFO Magazine -- "Economist Nouriel Roubini ... comments on Twitter that the result of the Greek election is 'much more serious than the French one as the former leads to chaos while Hollande will turn out to be a moderate.' Not only is Greece’s continuing membership in the European Union now 'at risk,' Roubini says, a 'negotiated exit' is the only option to restore growth in that country."
