Globalization: A Help or Hindrance for Economic Growth

Has the trend towards globalized economics helped or hurt national economics?  What has the impact been on worker income and on firm profits?  Have firms been taking advantage of strategies, such as outsourcing, in ways that undermine national economies or that strengthen national economics?  This lecture shares the finding of recent research on the impact of globalization on the world economy. 

Our speaker will be Professor Thomas Gresik, PhD from the University of Notre Dame.  Dr. Gresik is a professor in the Department of Economics and Econometrics at the University of Notre Dame.  He also a fellow in the Kellogg Institute for International Studies and the Institute for Educational Initiatives.  Prof. Gresik studies the effect of private information on the performance of markets and regulations.  His current research focuses on the economics of multinational corporations and international tax competition.  He has advised the European Central Bank, the Norwegian Oil Tax Office, and the Norwegian Ministry of Energy. The lecture is free to the public, but we ask that you make a reservation at the local APICS website, http://www.midcarolina-apics.org/ so a head count can be estimated for seating.
