The 30th Annual Monetary & Trade Conference: Demographics, Politics, and Economic Growth

Posted to Event by Ms. Kimberly Wood of Global Interdependence Center at 2:09 PM

Join GIC as we partner with Drexel University's LeBow College of Business for our annual half-day conference, this year focusing on the impact demographics has on politics.

Changes in the size and composition of a country's population are gradual, even glacial, in comparison to the fast pace of economic change and financial market volatility. Yet these changes will exert strong influences on the path of economic growth and the political stability and character of a country. What types of populations are supportive of the development of democratic style governments? When a bulge of retiring workers wants to sell its large houses and financial assets to a smaller group of younger residents, what happens? What are the implications of the age pyramid for the ability of a country to fund its social liabilities? Can there be "job creation" if there is no population growth? If population growth is achieved through immigration rather than through a high citizen birth rate, what happens?

Debt Agencies' Role in the Global Debt Capital Markets: Past, Present & Future

Posted to Event by Ms. Kimberly Wood of Global Interdependence Center at 11:57 AM

Join the Global Interdependence Center for this half day conference as we explore the role, influence and evolution of rating agencies as they pertain to capital debt markets.

Debt ratings agencies are instrumental to the debt capital markets. Firms such as S&P, Moody's and Egan Jones commit considerable resources in assessing the creditworthiness of borrowers, enabling investors and lenders to make informed credit decisions.

However, with the onset of the global financial crisis, there are many questions. Does the present debt rating system actually work? Is it proactive, or reactive? How was the present system created? Are there conflicts of interest? What impact does "politics" have with respect to rating determinations? Most importantly, does the present system & Process serve investors adequately by providing independent information?

Please join us on February 29th at the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia as we address these questions.

Posted to Event by Ms. Jillian M Fornito of Global Interdependence Center at 2:23 PM

The Global Interdependence Center, in conjunction with the Memphis Economics Club and the University of Memphis Fogelman College of Business, is bringing together the world's experts on agriculture and inflation to discuss these issues. What is the view of the Federal Reserve concerning food inflation, its effects on US monetary policy and the transmission of the policy throughout the world?

Is ethanol a boon or a burden to the Agricultural industry and what does the future hold for this alternative energy?

Agriculture is changing as the demands of the Emerging Markets challenge the ability of current technology to meet its needs. Higher prices are the signal, what will be the response? Join us in Memphis February 8th to listen and join the debate. If you eat, you are already involved!
