At the beginning it was strongly influenced by my economics studies, but it has evolved since then in that I’ve integrated psychology and sensory aspects.

Excerpt from Financial Times -- "A new economics note offers a reasoned argument against ultra-low interest rates; it is the most elaborate version of the so-called 'zombie effect' I have seen. Viral Acharya argues that low rates keep 'zombie firms' alive — these are commercially non-viable companies that only stay out of bankruptcy because banks 'evergreen' their loans at ultra-low rates rather than foreclose."

Excerpt from Thrive Global -- "'It’s worth noting that the law, through ADEA, only offers legal protection for people age 40 or older, “which opens up a separate line of inquiry as to why stereotyping the young as ‘lazy millennials’ is considered acceptable,' Michael North, Ph.D., assistant professor of management and organizations at the N.Y.U.

Excerpt from Investor Place -- Professor Aswath Damodaran of New York University’s Stern School of Business made it clear that he prefers Lyft’s approach of focusing on passengers and sticking to the North American market for now: 'I’d take Lyft over Uber because Uber wants to be all things to all people.

'No one wants to invest long-term, and brands don’t want to take risks with inventories,' Serdari says."

Berner described to Regulatory Intelligence a new effort to put cyber, geopolitical and climate risk in the spotlight.

For example, Gmail now includes a predictive typing feature that uses AI to “guess” at the next several words in sentences that I write. It is a nifty feature — not world-changing or anything like that, but certainly helpful. But, in the future, we will see lots more AI in lots more products/services/devices, and we will start to see firms reorganizing themselves in different ways to take advantage of what AI can do. It is still early days."
