As we enter 2021, we continue to see the impact of COVID-19 on the national and local economies in the United States, and repercussions on countries across the globe. After a partial reopening of the U.S. economy, unemployment rates remain high, virus cases are spiking once again, and there is uncertainty about the post-election U.S./China policy.
Though the majority party in the U.S. Senate has yet to be decided, an incoming Biden administration is developing a pandemic plan, reports on a vaccine are encouraging, and Wall Street is optimistic. Do these translate into faster economic growth? What does a Biden administration mean for U.S./China trade? Will international tourism and education come back in 2021?
The UCLA Anderson Forecast will present its preliminary assessment of these questions and Biden economic policy in this upcoming virtual webinar.
Kindly note that the event will be held on Microsoft Teams.
Dr. Nickelsburg teaches economics in the MBA program with a focus on Asian economies and plays a key role in the economic modeling and forecasting of the National and California economies.
