S.A.F.P.I.C. Presents “China in a Post Bubble Economy”
Co-sponsored by the C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University and New York Institute of Technology

World trade is now declining, with exports falling in almost every country. China, as the world’s largest exporter, is especially vulnerable. The Student Affairs-Faculty Partnership Initiative Committee (S.A.F.P.I.C.) at the C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University is hosting a special program, “China in the Post-Bubble Economy,” on Monday, February 23 from 9:15 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Hillwood Commons Lecture Hall.

This conference will address the economic challenges and potentially gloomy forecast for China, as well as the new opportunities for U.S. businesses to address the needs of Chinese consumers.

The event is co-sponsored by the Departments of Economics at the C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University and the New York Institute of Technology (NYIT). Organizers and presenters represent departments from C.W. Post as well as NYIT, with distinguished visiting guests from China and Japan.

Panelists include Panos Mourdoukoutas, a professor in C.W. Post’s Department of Economics; Paul Kutasovic, director of the Department of Economics at the NYIT School of Management; Scott Liu, professor and director of the Center of International Business Studies at the NYIT School of Management; Darcy Ye, professor of Economics and Finance at Jiangxi University in China; Steven Chang, chair and professor in the Department of Marketing & International Business at C.W. Post; and Yuko Arayama, professor of Economics at Nagoya University in Japan.

Dr. David Steinberg, president of Long Island University, and Dr. Edward Guiliano, president of NYIT, will provide opening remarks. There will be a 15-minute break at 10:45 a.m. between panels. Registration is not required for this free event. The public is invited.
