"The commercial real estate market is open for business. There are major loans being made on a daily, weekly, monthly basis. Rockefeller Center for a massive $3 billion refinancing in the last quarter… the cost of that debt is high. And I think herein lies one of the main advantages of transportation funding, where you could essentially borrow at Treasury interest rates."
- Professor Stijn Van Nieuwerburgh
"My prediction is that it will ultimately be a sorting process. You say about Gen Z they want work life balance, and work-life balance is important. Every generation has different values."

"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 Olivier Toubia
"Every tech company is focusing on AI as a future growth engine. And when it comes to AI, data privacy issues become a huge number one issue, and that comes out to the administration's policy. Hence, they're trying to earn goodwill. But here again, Trump needs the tech sector and the AI sector."
- Professor Daniel Keum
Professor Omid Malekan on recent bitcoin price drops, "The positive news from the election is mostly priced in. Trump takes office in a few weeks. There will be this question of when the rubber hits the road, what is he actually going to do?"
Professor Kairong Xiao on financial regulation under the SEC’s new chair Paul Atkins, "With Paul Atkins expected to replace Gary Gensler as SEC Chair, we’re looking at a big shift in financial regulation. Atkins has long championed a lighter touch approach, favoring free markets over aggressive oversight. One of the biggest swings will be in how the SEC policies broker-dealers like Robinhood. Under Gensler, the agency cracked down on payment for order flow, best execution, and retail trading practices, culminating in high-profile fines. But with an administration that’s more Wall Street-friendly than Main Street-focused, firms like Robinhood could find themselves facing fewer enforcement actions and a more relaxed regulatory climate."
Professor Gernot Wagner on Trump’s exit from the Paris Agreement, "It is objectively bad to have the U.S. sidelined from these international climate negotiations, but it may be beneficial from an expediency standpoint. Had Trump stayed in the Paris Agreement, the only effect is that the Trump administration sends negotiators to the UN climate talks who are not going to be constructive participants."
Professor Brett House on Trump’s tariff threats, "he is trying to sow as much uncertainty on trade with the United States as possible to put a chilling effect on further production and investment in the United States’ trading partners. This is all part of a general strategy to try to draw investment and production back to the United States, not necessarily by imposing tariffs, but by creating the threat of them, and adding more broadly to uncertainty in a way that makes it more costly, on a risk-adjusted basis, to produce and invest abroad."
