SUMMARY:Restoring American Economic Dynamism: New Solutions for America's Productivity Slowdown
DESCRIPTION:Restoring American Economic Dynamism: New Solutions for America’s Productivity SlowdownRegister to AttendFull-Day Conference Presented in Partnership with the CFA Institute Research Foundation\, the Museum of American Finance and S&P Global\nTuesday\, November 28\, 2017 | 09:30 AM to 06:00 PM\n\nUS productivity growth is at historic lows by most measures. The number of new US companies opening barely outpaces the number of companies closing. Inequality is increasing\, as is the mortality of those with only a high school education. The United States risks becoming the new “sick man” of the world\, analogous to the rotating position of the Ottoman Empire\, Britain\, France\, Germany and Italy as the sick man of Europe. \n“Restoring American Economic Dynamism: New Solutions for America’s Productivity Slowdown” will be a day-long conference offering fresh ideas of how to bring back American prosperity and growth. The conference will address the true economic challenges facing America: Is it a measurement problem\, with statistics failing to capture improvement in living standards? Or is it an inequality problem\, where the United States actually has two economies\, one providing high-wage jobs in information technology and finance\, and the other centered on low wage service jobs and dying old industries where most of the supply chain has fled to other countries? \nMost analyses of US economic decline are either fatalistic\, or wholly lacking in solutions other than generic ones such as “infrastructure” and “education.” In contrast\, this conference will expand the policy choice set to include new ideas about how to restore American economic vitality. These include the possibility of new labor market institutions\, such as apprenticeship programs or ways of sharing applied research and technology. Ultimately\, the US needs an expanded innovation system focused on production. Such novel ideas could result in US workers and firms better participating in manufacturing\, innovation and entrepreneurship\, leading to more dynamic and inclusive growth. \nRegister to AttendLocation\nMUSEUM OF AMERICAN FINANCE\n48 Wall Street | New York\, NY 10005\nEmail: events@moaf.org \nFee\nMembers $40 | Nonmembers $100 \n \nAgenda\n9:00: Doors open; continental breakfast served \n9:30: Welcome and Opening Remarks\nDavid Cowen\, MoAF President\nDavid Adler\, Conference Organizer\nLaurence Siegel\, Conference Co-Organizer\nRichard Sylla\, MoAF Chairman \n9:45: Opening Keynote: “The Audacity of Pessimism: Challenges for the World Economy”\nLord Mervyn King\, Governor of the Bank of England (2003-2013) \n10:30: Break \n10:40: Panel: Does the US have a Productivity Problem or a Productivity Measurement Problem?\nProductivity Was Already Slowing Before the Financial Crisis\nChad Syverson\, J.
