The World Economic Outlook<br />

In the wake of the worst U.S. economic recession since the Great Depression, uncertainty about the stability of the financial<br />

system in the United States and in the Euro zone, looming national budget deficits and debt, and the shifting economic gravity<br />

from North America and Western Europe to Asia and the Pacific Rim raise numerous questions about the outlook for the world<br />

economy in the near, medium, and long term. This lecture examines the recent behavior of the U.S. and world economy, with an<br />

eye toward understanding the major macroeconomic forces at play in the future.<br />
