In the midst of a global economic crisis, it seems more relevant than ever to study factors that contribute to capital market strength and long-term economic growth in emerging economies around the world. On Tuesday, January 27, the Weatherhead East Asian Institute cosponsored a brown bag lecture with the Center on Japanese Economy and Business and the Harriman Institute titled "A New Approach to Law and Economic Development, with Reference to East Asia." The discussion focused on the findings presented in the recently released book, Law and Capitalism, which was coauthored by Columbia Law School Professors Curtis Milhaupt and Katharina Pistor.

The Japan Society, Nomura Holding America Inc., The Women's Bond Club of New York, and the Center on Japanese Economy and Business (CJEB) of Columbia Business School cosponsored the symposium, "America Has Voted: Impact of New U.S. President on Asian Markets" on January 29, 2009. Sitting on the panel were three distinguished speakers: Alicia Ogawa, Director of the Program on Alternative Investments at CJEB; David Resler, Managing Director and Chief Economist at Nomura Securities International, Inc.; and Jeffrey Young, Chief Economist at Platinum Grove Asset Management. Leslie Norton, Foreign Editor, Asia at Barron's moderated the discussion.

David Weinstein, Associate Director for the Center on Japanese Economy and Business, was quoted in a February 5th New York Times article, "Japan's Big-Works Stimulus Is Lesson."

Over 700 alumni, professionals and students gathered to discuss emerging trends in the private equity and venture capital communities.

With the American electoral season now in high gear, the question for high technology oriented voters is how to decode the candidates.

"By bringing the [Social Enterprise Program's] resources to Executive Education, we increase the School's capacity to empower individuals and organizations in the public, nonprofit and private sectors to maximize their social impact," said Professor Ray Horton.
