  UCLA Anderson Forecast in partnership with the UCLA Anderson Center for Global Management | UCLA CIBER presents
  DECEMBER 2011 ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
  Special Topic: The California-China Relationship: Partners or Competitors?
 
  Korn Convocation Hall, UCLA Anderson School
Wednesday, December 7, 2011
7:30am - 11:30am

  (Registration from 7:30am to 8:30am)
 
 
  Overview
  Partners divide the tasks according to comparative advantage (You do the finance and I’ll do the marketing). Competitors do the same tasks, and try with lower prices or better quality to take the work away from each other.

Are China and California partners, each gaining from their association, or are they competitors seeking the same business opportunities, leaving one loser and one winner?
