Excerpt from The New York Times -- "There are signs that in the places most exposed to the trade war — particularly Wisconsin and other Midwestern states — those effects have spread beyond the industrial sector and begun to affect consumers. In a recent working paper, Michael E. Waugh, an economist at New York University, found that automobile sales were growing significantly more slowly in the counties most affected by the tariffs than in the rest of the country. Those places have also seen slower job growth in their retail sectors."

Excerpt from The New York Times -- "Jonathan Haidt, a professor at NYU’s Stern School of Business, offered a similarly nuanced examination of how the balance between tribalism and openness might play out.

It is a set of psychological adaptations that make people respond to threats and intergroup competition with an urge to band together, enforce loyalty to the team, and guard boundaries or territory.'"

Excerpt from Barron's -- “'I don’t think they’ve innovated as much…online deliveries, both UPS and Amazon, have better online delivery.

Excerpt from Robb Report -- "'It’s a very efficient way to very quickly raise a large amount of cash,' Andrew Hinkes, an attorney specializing in digital currency at Carlton Fields and an adjunct professor at NYU’s School of Law and Stern School of Business, told Robb Report. 'It’s a classic story of time, value, money. Would you rather wait to have your money or would you rather have your money now and see if you can invest it in a way that ultimately benefits you?'”

Excerpt from The Hill -- "Experts who spoke to The Hill said those changes were insufficient to make a serious dent in the fake accounts and disinformation they say are rampant on Facebook.

Excerpt from GARP.org -- "Peter Henry, W.R. Berkley professor of economics and finance at New York University's Stern School of Business and adviser to Protiviti, said three scenarios of concern are: A major policy mistake by central banks, specifically one that is overly aggressive and triggers inflation; intensification of the global trade war that increases economic uncertainty and lowers the corporate appetite for fixed investment; and a limited, or lack of, recovery in the economies of large emerging markets that puts a damper on the global economy."

Excerpt from Zuora Podcast -- "This is not a new problem–the fact that GDP isn’t capturing some of the progress and the real value creation from technological progress. Take your use of Google. There’s a certain amount of advertising revenue that is generated from your use of Google or my use of Google, but that’s very different from the value that it is creating for you and me from having this ability to search for anything and access the world’s information."

Excerpt from The Economic Times -- “'Death of active fund investing is long overdue. It is getting exactly what it deserves. For the most part, it is lazy and inefficient.

Excerpt from NBC News -- “'The stock market is driven by the aggregate of investors’ expectations about future profitability,' said Lawrence White, an economics professor at New York University's Stern School of Business.

Excerpt from ValueWalk -- "About emails: clicking through your inbox may seem an un-taxing way to start your work day, but it’s a productivity killer.
