Excerpt from CNN -- “'As a 2019 report by DHL demonstrates, globalization is still strong and by some measures, continues to expand. People still do want to be connected to trade, travel and transact across the world, but in government policy, where economic logic once trumped politics, today it’s often the reverse. The cumulative result of all these measures, protecting local industries, subsidizing national champions, restricting immigration, is always to sap economic growth.'”

Excerpt from Forbes -- "Says Anindya Ghose, Heinz Riehl Chair professor of business at NYU and director of the NYU Stern master of science in business analytics program, 'My sense is that this decision by Bose to close to many offline stores is dictated by cost economics.

In particular, as long as their products are available on Amazon, people will have easy access and a convenient method to buy.'”

Excerpt from S&P Global -- "Lawrence White, an economist at New York University's Stern School of Business who specializes in financial regulation, expressed a similar view.

Excerpt from Real Vision Finance -- “'It boils down to experience. Making mistakes, it’s important to make mistakes…You learn through your mistakes, and in a domain like this you can make lots of mistakes, because it’s treacherous, it’s a noisy kind of problem…every bone in your body should be telling you to figure out what’s wrong with something that seems to work because most things should not work…so there’s really no substitute for experience.'”

Excerpt from MarketScale -- “'Now in that market, Sprint and TMobile occupy a much bigger place than they do in the standard retail market because they’ve been more aggressive, they’ve been looking out to see opportunities for resale, and one of the reasons why they’ve been more aggressive here is, in a sense, they have less to lose in the standard retail market because they are smaller players in the standard retail market.'"

Excerpt from The New York Times -- "There are signs that in the places most exposed to the trade war — particularly Wisconsin and other Midwestern states — those effects have spread beyond the industrial sector and begun to affect consumers. In a recent working paper, Michael E. Waugh, an economist at New York University, found that automobile sales were growing significantly more slowly in the counties most affected by the tariffs than in the rest of the country. Those places have also seen slower job growth in their retail sectors."

Excerpt from Business Insider -- "Tech companies are coming for the healthcare industry’s lunch.

When Business Insider asked Webb for a prediction she expects to happen that most others don’t think will happen, her response turned to the relationship between big tech companies and healthcare."

Excerpt from Business Standard -- "Nouriel Roubini, Professor of Economics at Stern School of Business, New York University shared his insights on global economic challenges in a session entitled 'Global economic challenges of our times'.

It is a set of psychological adaptations that make people respond to threats and intergroup competition with an urge to band together, enforce loyalty to the team, and guard boundaries or territory.'"

Excerpt from Barron's -- “'I don’t think they’ve innovated as much…online deliveries, both UPS and Amazon, have better online delivery. I would argue that the senior management there has spent more time on tax avoidance than on actual innovation, and also they have a competitor, and this is the danger of a monopoly, that can build out a fulfillment network and then monetize it in another business.
