Presidential Election 2012:
The Economy and
the Stock Market |
|
This year’s presidential election may very well come down to the economy and
stock market performance between now and Election Day. Is there any way to
forecast outcomes, and what will the election results mean for the economy and
markets going forward?
In this edition of Smith Business Close-Up with the University of Maryland’s
Robert H. Smith School of Business, David Kass talks about the presidential race
and the economy.
Kass is a Tyser Teaching Fellow in finance, and happens to be a Harvard
Business School classmate of Republican candidate Mitt Romney (corporate
financial management course, fall 1973). He currently teaches Advanced Financial
Management and Business Finance. Prior to joining the faculty of the Smith
School in 2004, he held senior positions with the Federal Government (Federal
Trade Commission, General Accounting Office, Department of Defense, and the
Bureau of Economic Analysis). Kass is an expert on Warren Buffett, Berkshire
Hathaway and the economy.
Smith Business Close-Up is co-produced by the Robert H. Smith School
of Business and Maryland Public Television. The television segment focuses on
the latest thinking in business management, and features in-depth interviews
with Smith School faculty and other members of the school’s community of
business leaders.
