Overview |
| |
Across the globe, countries are trying to dig out of recession and slow growth with export oriented policies. But not every country can achieve this goal, some have to be more import dependent. In recent decades, the U.S. has run large trade deficits. To correct this imbalance the U.S. has to have larger net exports. But can this be achieved in a Globalized world? The Anderson Forecast will explore this topic along with a roll out of the Quarterly Forecast for the U.S. and California at a conference on the 13th of March. |
