"What's interesting about Trump's recent proposals is that they include tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada. That's going to have some impact on people's daily purchases. For example, food and agricultural goods. Lots of our fresh vegetables and fresh fruits come from Mexico and Canada. If they impose a 25% tariff on these goods, that's really going to have an impact on our day-to-day consumption."

"The future is going to look hybrid. There are benefits to being in person, but that doesn’t need to be five days a week by any stretch of the imagination."

"A lot of senior leaders at various companies are sensing resistance from employees to adopt AI, and AI in particular because they're afraid of being replaced and losing their jobs. A lot of companies now are trying to convince their employees and middle managers that it's okay that AI is helping them organize and it won't be affecting their jobs… But at the same time, if you look at OpenAI's reports, they're planning to replace human employees and even managers themselves who are thinking of using AI to save on labor costs."

Professor Stijn Van Nieuwerburgh on the effect of empty office space in New York City, "What happens to New York City from here on out depends on the actions we take and the policy decisions that are made.

New York City has all these great amenities, it’s a wonderful place where young people want to live, regardless of where they work."
Professor Brett House on the 2024 economy, "The economy as a whole has fared far better in 2024 than the consensus expected, and we have seen inflation come down and consumer spending remain strong — not withstanding a bit of a ‘vibecession’ in the beginning of the year. The stock market has charged ahead, people are feeling positive wealth effects and interest rates are coming down."
