Taking Stock with Robert H. Frank

Join us as internationally renowned economist Robert H. Frank examines the current and future state of our economy in a discussion moderated by FOX 29’s Bruce Gordon. The event will take place on Thursday, November 5, 8:00 – 10:00 a.m. at The Hub Cira Centre, located adjacent to 30th Street Station in Center City.

Frank, a Professor of Management and Economics at Cornell University, is an expert on the ways emotions, values and consumer behavior affect markets and economics. He is also widely recognized for his monthly contributions to the "Economic View" column in The New York Times and is an acclaimed author.

In his most recent book, The Economic Naturalist's Field Guide: Common Sense Principles for Troubled Times, Frank shows how behavioral economics can illuminate some of the most important issues of our times, such as tax policy, financial investment, and everyday decisions about saving and spending. This book as well as his previous bestselling book, The Economic Naturalist: In Search of Explanations for Everyday Enigmas, will be available for purchase at the program.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to participate in the dialogue as Frank fields questions from the audience.

This event is presented in partnership with the Free Library of Philadelphia. Co-sponsors for this event are Janney Montgomery Scott LLC, ParenteBeard LLC and Villanova School of Business.
