IU Business Outlook Panel to Offer Economic Forecast at IPFW
(Fort Wayne, November 4, 2009) -- The Northeast Indiana Chapter of the IU Alumni Association and the Indiana University–Purdue University Fort Wayne (IPFW) Alumni Association will host the IU Business Outlook Panel, Wednesday, Nov. 18, at 11:30 a.m. The event will be held in the Walb Student Union Ballroom on the IPFW Campus.
The IU Business Outlook Panel will offer national, state, and local economic forecasts for the coming year. The starting point for the forecast is the Econometric Model of the United States, developed by IU’s Center for Econometric Model research, which analyzes numerous statistics to develop a national forecast for the coming year. The center’s Econometric Model of Indiana provides a corresponding forecast of where the state’s economy is headed. The Business Outlook Panel then adjusts the forecast to reflect additional insights they have on the economic situation.
The panel will include John Stafford, director of the Community Research Institute at IPFW; Ellie Mafi-Kreft, clinical assistant professor of business economics, Indiana University; Robert Neal, associate professor of finance, Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI); and Carol Rogers, deputy director of Indiana Business Research Center at IUPUI.
Lunch will be served. The cost is $30 per guest, or $275 for a table of 10. For reservations, contact Eric Steenman, vice president of the Northeast Indiana Chapter of the IU Alumni Association, at 260-490-1374 x2864, or e-mail eric.steenman@lakecitybank.com.
