This Week in Business

We're featuring a series this month called “2019: A Look Ahead” and continue with a look at the real estate markets. Mortgage interest rates are easing after rates passed five percent in 2018 for the first time in eight years, making consumers uncertain about either buying a new home or refinancing an existing loan. But at the same time, changes in the tax law hit mortgage interest deductions, home equity loans, and property tax deductions with a new state and local tax limit of $10,000. To further examine these effects, host Dan Loney talks with Susan Wachter, Professor of Real Estate and Finance at The Wharton School and Co-Director of the Penn Institute for Urban Research, and Benjamin Keys, an Assistant Professor in Wharton’s Real Estate Department, as well as a Faculty Research Fellow at the National Bureau of Economic Research.

We're featuring a series this month called “2019: A Look Ahead” and continue with a look at trade issues. The U.S. and China recently held another round of trade talks, which ended with both sides reportedly feeling positive. The U.S. is also preparing for talks with the European Union later this year, with agriculture being one of the tougher, negotiating issues. To help understand these many moving parts of international trade, host Dan Loney is joined by Mary Lovely, an Economics Professor at Syracuse University’s School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, as well as a non-resident Senior Fellow at The Peterson Institute, and Matt Gold, an Adjunct Professor of Law at Fordham University and a former Deputy Assistant US Trade Representative for North America.   Hosted on Acast.

We're featuring a series this month called “2019: A Look Ahead” and continue with a look at impending changes to US tax law and policy. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act went into effect in 2018 and the majority of us will feel its impact when we file our taxes in the coming weeks or months. However it's already left a mark on the federal budget deficit. Although the Trump administration said the tax plan would "pay for itself," that has not happened, instead the deficit went up by 17 percent from the year before. The small boost it gave to the economy may be a temporary effect. In the meantime, the IRS is dealing with the partial government shutdown and it's unclear whether tax refunds will be sent out on time, even though the deadline to file remains the same. Host Dan Loney is joined by Michael Knoll, Co-Director of the Center for Tax Law and Policy as well as Law Professor at the Univ. of Pennsylvania Law School, and Daniel Hemel, Assistant Professor at the University of Chicago Law School, to discuss how these tax policies might play out in 2019.

We're featuring a series this month called “2019: A Look Ahead” and continue with a look at the future of Latin America. In the last 12 months leadership has changed in Latin American countries including Brazil, Cuba and Mexico. Brazil elected a far right president, Jair Bolsonaro, while Mexico has its first leftist president in seven decades, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. And for the first time in over 50 years, the leader of Cuba is not a Castro, it's Miguel Diaz Canel. In the meantime Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro was sworn in last week for his second term, even though his reelection is being called illegitimate and the country is in economic turmoil. Host Dan Loney examines many of these issues with William Burke White, Director of The Perry World House and Law Professor at the University of Pennsylvania, and Benjamin GEDAN, Senior Advisor to the Latin American Program at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, Adjunct Professor at Johns Hopkins University and a former South America Director of the National Security Council at The White House.  Hosted on Acast.

We're featuring a series this month called “2019: A Look Ahead” and continue with a look at retail in the US. In 2018, 13 retail companies filed for bankruptcy protection, which is about half as many as 2017. While some like David’s Bridal and Mattress Firm may be able to reorganize their debt and find a way out of financial trouble, Sears Holdings looks like it will follow the path of Toys R Us and close its doors soon. Consumers have been spending more money, but as e-commerce is taking a large share of that, brick and mortar stores need to continue to find better ways in which to compete. To discuss how these retail trends will carry out in 2019, host Dan Loney talks with Barbara Kahn, Professor of Marketing at the Wharton school, and Mark Cohen, Director of Retail Studies at Columbia University Graduate School of Business and former CEO of Sears Canada, Lazarus Department Stores and Bradlees, Inc., on Knowledge@Wharton. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We're featuring a series this month called “2019: A Look Ahead” and continue with a look at immigration. The current government shutdown is linked to immigration - President Trump is demanding over $5 billion dollars to build a wall along the U.S. southern border with Mexico. There are also tens of thousands fleeing the violence in Central American countries asking for US asylum, questionable current border practices with family separations and child safety investigations, and the Dreamers, undocumented immigrants brought to the US as minors, who are still in limbo as lawmakers continue to argue their fate. Host Dan Loney talks with Sarah Paoletti, Director of the Transnational Legal Clinic at the University of Pennsylvania, and Stephen Yale-Loehr, Professor of Immigration Law Practice at Cornell University, to discuss how these tenuous situations may or may not resolve in the coming year on Knowledge@Wharton. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We're featuring a series this month called “2019: A Look Ahead” and continue with a look at the current labor markets. 2018 ended with very positive news: the economy added around 2.6 million jobs in 2018, and wages grew by 3.2 percent. The labor participation rate climbed over 63 percent, meaning more people were coming back into the workforce, which also nudged the unemployment rate up a bit to 3.9 percent. As 2019 starts, 20 states and around two dozen cities are raising the minimum wage. However, the country is now feeling the effects of the government shutdown, the current trade war, and a shaky Wall Street. So, what can we expect to see this year? Host Dan Loney is joined by Peter Cappelli, the Director of the Center for Human Resources and Professor of Management at the Wharton school, and Iwan Barankay is an Associate Professor of Management and Associate Professor of Business Economics and Public Policy at Wharton, to discuss their projections for the labor market in 2019 on Knowledge@Wharton. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

As we continue our “2019: A Look Ahead” series, we focus on the financial markets, which have been on a roller coaster of ups and downs the last few months. The Dow Jones Industrial Average saw a decline over 10 percent and both the NASDAQ and S&P 500 saw significant declines as well. The factors that lead to some of this uncertainty are still in place, including the U.S. trade war with China and President Trump's open disagreement with the Federal Reserve's decision to raise interest rates. Host Dan Loney talks with Jeremy Siegel, Finance Professor at the Wharton School, and Gad Allon, Professor of Operations, Information and Decisions and Director of the Management and Technology Program at the Wharton School, to discuss what these trends mean for the future market trends of 2019 on Knowledge@Wharton. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We're featuring a series this month called “2019: A Look Ahead” and continue with a look at the banking sector. Overall, banks have done well under the Trump administration that has worked on cutting regulations. But, some banks found themselves in trouble last year, such as the Deutsche Bank which was involved in a tax evasion scandal. With the economy still going strong, the Federal Reserve has raised interest rates several times to make sure the economy doesn’t overheat and lead to more economic problems. This move has drawn criticism from President Trump who claims it's hurting the economy. Host Dan Loney speaks with Peter Conti Brown is an Assistant Professor of Business Studies and Legal Ethics at the Wharton school and Lisa Cook is an Associate Professor of Economics and International Relations at Michigan State University, to discuss what might be in store for the Fed and the banks in 2019 on Knowledge@Wharton. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

As the partial government shutdown continues, American farmers who were already impacted by the trade war with China are now facing even more complications. The billions of dollars bailout they were promised to make up for losses due to the trade war are on hold. The offices of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) are closed, creating a backlog of loan applications, among other things. Host Dan Loney talks with Steffen Schmidt, Endowed Professor of Political Science at Iowa State University and Joseph Outlaw, Professor, Extension Economist, and Co-Director of the Agricultural and Food Policy Center at Texas A&M University, to find out more about these shutdown repercussions on Knowledge@Wharton. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A little over a week ago, Dr. Kevin Hassett, the Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, commented on the Penn Wharton Budget Model (PWBM) analysis of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. That's the legislation that began in 2018 to cut taxes on corporations and most Americans. Dr. Hassett, speaking before the American Economic Association, disputed many of the claims made by the PWBM. The PWBM’s assessment of the impact of the tax cut plan included a slight increase in GDP and an increase in the Federal Deficit. Host Dan Loney talks with Richard Prisinzano, Senior Economist with the PWBM, who also spent 13 years in the Office of Tax Analysis at the Treasury Department, and Kimberly Burham, Managing Director of Legislation and Special Projects with the PWBM, to respond to the Chairman's criticism on Knowlege@Wharton.

In 2016, U.S. intelligence found evidence of foreign attempts to hack into the country’s electric grid - one of the most crucial parts of American infrastructure. The perpetrators planted malware on online publications they knew utility employees read and emailed resumes with tainted attachments to get into secured systems. Last year U.S. officials publicly blamed Russia's government for this cyberattack, and is now looking at severe penalties against outside entities who try to breach our power system. Host Dan Loney talks with The Wall Street Journal’s energy reporter Rebecca Smith about how she pieced together the steps the Russians took to be able to do all of this in a new investigative piece on Knowledge@Wharton.

The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA), which oversees the approval of new drugs and oversees around 80 percent of our food supply, is among the agencies that are impacted by this partial US government shutdown. Last Wednesday, FDA commissioner, Dr. Scott Gottlieb announced routine inspections would be temporarily suspended as hundreds of agency inspectors have been furloughed. This raises the risk of contaminated food products turning up in stores, restaurants and other locations. So how worried should we be? Host Dan Loney is joined by Marion Nestle, Professor Emerita of Nutrition, Food Studies and Public Health at New York University as well as a Visiting Professor of Nutritional Sciences at Cornell University, and Craig Hedberg, Professor in the Division of Environmental Health Sciences at the University of Minnesota School of Public Health and co-director of the Minnesota Integrated Food Safety Center of Excellence, to discuss the implications of the shutdown and resulting food safety on Knowledge@Wharton.

It’s day 24 of the partial government shutdown and so far there doesn’t appear to be an end in sight. Last week, dozens of aviation industry groups sent a letter to President Trump and congressional leaders yesterday urging an end to the partial government shutdown and stressing the harm it's doing to their industry. Transportation Security Officers (TSA), border protection agents, and air traffic controllers have been forced to work without pay, new planes and new air routes have been sidelined. TSA workers have been calling in sick, and unions report all air traffic controller training has been suspended. Host Dan Loney talks with Roger W. Clark, Founding Member and Managing Partner of The Clark Law Group, Dr. Clinton Oster, Professor Emeritus at Indiana University’s School of Public and Environmental Affairs, and Jeffrey Price, Professor in the Department of Aviation and Aerospace Science at Metropolitan State University, to discuss more about these complications and how they have affected the consumers on Knowledge@Wharton.

The partial US government shutdown has started to impact one aspect of Wall Street – the IPO market. The Securities and Exchange Commission has been partially closed, which means that companies planning to list shares on the stock market this month have to delay their plans. Host Dan Loney talks with David Zaring, Assistant Professor of Legal Studies and Business Ethics at the Wharton school, and James Cox, a Law Professor who specializes in corporate and securities law at Duke University, on Knowledge@Wharton. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It is now day 24 of the partial US government shutdown and so far there doesn’t appear to be an end in sight. We take a look back at President Donald Trump's speech last week for his first prime-time Oval Office address to the nation to make his case for a wall at the southern border with Mexico. The President said the partial shutdown of the government will continue until he receives the funding for a steel barrier and other border security measures. To look at this political move and the impact of the shutdown, Host Dan Loney is joined by Rogers Smith, Distinguished Professor of Political Science at the University of Pennsylvania and President of the American Political Science Association, and Bill Schneider, Professor of Public Policy at the Schaefer School of Policy and Government at George Mason University, on Knowledge@Wharton.

We're featuring a series this month called “2019: A Look Ahead” and continue with a look at the future of the Affordable Care Act. In the first two years of the Trump Administration and a Republican-controlled Congress, the ACA was challenged on a variety of fronts including the tax bill. Passed just over a year ago, the bill removed the health insurance mandate leading to the recent ruling by a federal judge in Texas that the ACA was unconstitutional. A coalition of 17 Democratic State Attorneys General is appealing that ruling and the new Democrat-controlled House is looking at ways to protect the healthcare law. Host Dan Loney examines all sides of the arguments with Mark Pauly, Health Management Professor at Wharton, Eric Clemons, Professor of Operations, Information and Decisions at Wharton, and Robert Field, Professor of Law and of Health Management and Policy at Drexel University, on Knowledge@Wharton. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We're featuring a series this month called “2019: A Look Ahead” and continue with a look at the current situation in China. The second biggest economy in the world is in the midst of a trade war with the United States that's starting to have a palpable impact as recently Apple reported its iPhone sales were lower than expected in China. And auto sales declined in 2018, which demonstrates the first retreat for that sector in two decades. And numerous other companies are pulling back on their growth forecasts as well. The U.S. and China called a 90-day ceasefire on imposing new tariffs that started in December, and have announced they will hold ministerial level talks in Beijing next week. If no agreement is reached by the March deadline, the U.S. could proceed with new tariffs and China will likely retaliate. Host Dan Loney talks with Minyuan Zhao, Associate Professor of Management at Wharton, and Jacque DeLisle, Professor of Law and Professor of Political Science at University of Pennsylvania, about where China is headed in the New Year on Knowledge@Wharton.

We don't yet know whether President Donald Trump himself, or anyone within his inner circle, colluded with Moscow.
