  • CNBC logo feat

    Excerpt from CNBC -- "I think in general, the idea of having split roles can be a good thing, but that doesn't obviate the need to think through the particulars of every single case. And in this case, there is absolutely no reason to call for splitting the roles. The company has performed in a stellar fashion and even when it suffered the loss from the London trade, the company was forthright in dealing with the problem. So I think that's the best you can expect from any company."

  • bloomberg logo feat

    Excerpt from Bloomberg -- "There’s nothing wrong with Apple taking advantage of tax loopholes. Where Apple has screwed up here, is bragging about it and raising the concern and complaining about it. If you’re able to have some of the lowest tax rates in the world, while being the most profitable company in the world, you don’t go in front of Congress to complain about it…He [Apple CEO Tim Cook] is justifiably going to get mauled in front of Congress."

  • Excerpt from National Review Online -- "In 'The Cost Disease,' the economist William Baumol observes that in 2005, U.S. health care spending per capita was $6,400 while all other spending per capita was $35,400. He projects that if growth in output continues at its historical average while growth in medical expenditures does the same over the next century, health care spending per capita in 2105 will be $213,000 while all other spending per capita will be $130,000."

  • forbes logo feature

    Excerpt from Forbes -- "Michael Moses, co-founder of the Mei Moses Art Indices and Beautiful Asset Advisors, shared repeat sales data with me from the post-war and contemporary day and evening sales held at Sotheby’s and Christie’s last week, or in other words, data drawn from the lots that had appeared at auction before. The average compound annual return on the repeat sales during these auctions was 10.4%. ‘This was a really strong set of sales,' says Moses. 'They don’t get much stronger than this. Nor were there any really outsized returns that would skew the results.'”

  • new yorker logo feature

    Excerpt from the New Yorker -- "In the mid-nineteen-sixties, two economists, William J. Baumol and William G. Bowen, diagnosed a “cost disease” in industries like education, and the theory continues to inform thinking about pressure in the system."

  • cbs logo feature

    Excerpt from CBS Sunday Morning -- "'Some of the researchers believe that it's biological in origin -- that there's something about the way this color interacts with our eyes and with our brains and with our physiology to weaken us,' said Alter. 'I think another alternative is that it's just based on the association.'"

  • voxeu logo feature

    Excerpt from VoxEU -- "This is hardly the first time that the US government has faced the question of whether it should discriminate among its different promises (see Hall and Sargent 2013). In 1868, immediately following the Civil War, the US faced what seemed a crushing debt burden with outstanding Treasury obligations exceeding 35% of GDP."

  • project syndicate logo feature

    Excerpt from Project Syndicate -- "If public-sector deleveraging is not a complete growth policy – and it isn’t – why is there so much attention on fiscal austerity and so little action (as opposed to lip service) on growth and employment?"

  • cnnmoney logo feature

    Excerpt from CNNMoney -- "'If you put in a price that is a bit off, you can affect the benchmark in a meaningful way, particularly because there just aren't that many transactions at the end of the day,' she said. 'You may try and move Platts in a particular way and lose in that transaction, but then gain, by moving the index, in a larger transaction on the opposite side or on your derivatives position.'"

  • financial times logo feature

    Excerpt from Financial Times -- "Michael Posner, a professor at New York University’s Stern business school, said the reluctance of some companies stemmed from 'a judgment that they don’t bear ultimate responsibility because they don’t own or operate factories.'"

  • bloomberg logo feat

    Excerpt from Bloomberg -- "Certainly, Michael Dell and Carl Icahn's two plans are very, very different for what the vision for the company is and everyone and the board and the shareholders needs to decide which path they want to go down."

  • financial times logo feature

    Excerpt from Financial Times -- "David Yermack, a professor of finance and business transformation at New York University’s Stern School of Business, and co-authors, Tanja Artiga González and Markus Schmid of the University of St Gallen in Switzerland, examine more than 200 US companies accused by governments of price-fixing between 1986 and 2010."

  • Boston Magazine Logo

    Excerpt from Boston Magazine -- "'I think there is the growing realization that some portion of your business, in a number of industries, is going to involve a shared product rather than an owned asset,' he said. 'Now companies have to say, well, after I sell my product to my customers, are they using it efficiently? Because if they’re not using it efficiently, can I be sure that some sharing economy marketplace isn’t gonna come along and offer them a more efficient substitute?'”

  • PBS Logo

    Excerpt from PBS -- "I think there's no easy road to getting to the point of having the populous trust you. So we have to get there by making decisions -- for instance, invest in education, because think about the transformation of the world economy. The United States has become a service-driven economy. And so in order for us to deliver prosperity, we need to make sure that our citizens are in a position to benefit from the knowledge economy. But that means making the fundamental investments, for instance, in education."

  • bloomberg logo feat

    Excerpt from Bloomberg -- "No one does catch-up better than Google. They have this army of engineers. They're not afraid to innovate and put stuff out that's not perfect and then do one of two things: make it work or kill it. So if you're Pandora or Spotify, this is a scary day."

  • bigthink logo feature

    Excerpt from Big Think -- "So what we have is an imbalance... an imbalance between economic importance in global GDP and economic voice in the setting of the global economic agenda. And so what’s required for the future is a rebalancing of this mismatch."

  • bloomberg logo feat

    Excerpt from Bloomberg -- "Lawrence White, an economics professor at New York University’s Stern School of Business, said the SEC should eliminate a requirement that companies rate at least 10 percent of the transactions they view on the website. 'It only serves to inhibit potential raters from even looking at the existing bundles of information,' White said."

  • reuters logo feature

    Excerpt from Reuters -- "Mike Posner, a professor of business and human rights at New York University's Stern School of Business, in an email said agreement to a legally binding accord by major European retailers has put U.S. retailers under pressure. 'The onus is now on American brands to step up to the plate,' he said."

  • marketplace radio logo feature

    Excerpt from Marketplace -- "'One has to have a high level of confidence that this independent board would get it right,' said Lawrence White, a professor of economics at New York University's Stern School of Business, when asked about Franken's proposal."

  • bloomberg businessweek logo feature

    Excerpt from Bloomberg Businessweek -- "Whether a musical campaign is a good strategy in New York is another question. The city and the subway stations beneath it are already bursting with unusual acts—from mariachi bands to opera duets and break dancers. Some busy locals have grown to either ignore or dislike all the clamor. Working in its favor is the Oreo event’s location and size. 'Union Square is a place where people naturally congregate, so you’ll reach them. The added benefit is the news coverage,' says Craig. 'The challenge for Oreo is it’s a 100-year-old brand. How do you keep it fresh, relevant, exciting? This is one way to break through the clutter.'"

  • npr logo feature

    Excerpt from NPR -- "It's creepy. It's not quite wiretapping but it feels like a first cousin to wiretapping."

  • quartz logo

    Excerpt from Quartz -- "It is tempting to dismiss these microbusinesses that function outside the formal economy. But the ability to build something new from broken pieces is precisely the skill that business leaders in the United States, Europe, and other advanced nations need to renew prosperity. It’s time to take a page from the Jamaican pushcart playbook."

  • wall street journal logo feature

    Excerpt from The Wall Street Journal -- "Lawrence J. White, a professor at New York University's Stern School of Business, says the SEC should make information available to rating firms under 17(g)5 accessible to investors as well. Mr. White says incremental changes to rating-industry practices are far more likely than an overhaul. 'There wasn't going to be major change," he says. "It wasn't going to happen quickly. It's not going to happen now.'"

  • financial times logo feature

    Excerpt from Financial Times -- “'What we need is not bigger or smaller government for growth, but narrower and stronger government,' says Paul Romer, the growth economist."

  • Fresh Outlook Logo

    Excerpt from Fresh Outlook -- "I think retailers in general, especially retailers with a large physical presence, will benefit. I also think the very large online retailers such as Amazon have already compromised and are paying the taxes for the last couple of years and they also are better equipped to know all the details of every zip code and how much tax they should calculate and so on, so these are going to be the main beneficiaries."
