In his second of two recent op-eds, Professor Matthew Slaughter writes about U.S. immigration policy. He discusses the current caps placed on visas granted to highly educated foreigners seeking employment in the United States. Slaughter writes about the importance of foreign knowledge and skill, as exemplified on the Tuck faculty (36 percent of tenured and tenure-track professors are foreign born). "Leading U.S. companies today are crying out for more immigrants to satisfy their talent needs. And they do so as globalization gives companies an ever-wider range of locations abroad in which to operate," says Slaughter. "Increasingly, talent needs that cannot be met in America can be met abroad." He concludes that the solution is to eliminate caps on visas for highly educated foreigners.

THE NEW YORK TIMES
Tuck Professor Karin Thorburn and Dartmouth Professor Karen Fisher-Vanden have been conducting research on the effect of going green on stock value. The paper runs a feature on their study, which has revealed that the announcement by companies to join voluntary programs aimed at curbing greenhouse gas emissions is linked to negative effects on stock prices. "The pattern was clear," explains Thornburn. "The more aggressive the goal, the more the stock price fell." Since voluntary programs decrease stock value, such programs leave boards of directors in direct conflict with their fiduciary duty to shareholders. Therefore, the professors conclude that regulatory action is needed to curb greenhouse emissions. The article also appeared in the International Herald Tribune.

Federal Reserve Governor Frederic Mishkin recently visited Tuck to speak at the Global Capital Markets Conference hosted by  Tuck's Center for International Business. Mishkin explained that disruptions in financial markets pose risks to the outlook for economic growth. "The Federal Reserve has been acting and will continue to act decisively, in the sense that our lowering of the federal funds rate target has reflected the evolution of the balance of risks to the macroeconomy," he said. Mishkin also discussed the success of another Fed initiative to ease strains in credit markets. [Read the speech transcript.]

Professor M. Eric Johnson’s expertise was tapped to discuss changes in the nation’s toy industry. Due to rising costs of labor, materials, and energy, forthcoming toys will be simpler and more expensive. Johnson explains that despite changes, such as creating online material instead of using a bigger memory chip in high-tech toys, consumers could still face a 5 to 10 percent price increase on many toys later this year. The Associated Press story appeared in numerous outlets worldwide.

Despite Microsoft’s bid to buy Yahoo Inc., Google will remain stable in its dominant position as the top holder of Internet search market share. The Microsoft-Yahoo deal may prove beneficial in terms of increasing Internet advertising space, and the unification of the two companies could provide more effective competition with Google than either Microsoft or Yahoo has individually. Professor Anant Sundaram was tapped to comment on the potential effects of the buyout on shareholders. "This is a great deal for Yahoo’s shareholders, but an iffy one for Microsoft’s shareholders," he says, adding that Microsoft’s valuation for Yahoo presumes synergy goals that will be difficult to achieve, resulting in negative repercussions for Microsoft. Sundaram's opinion on the Microsoft-Yahoo deal has been widely cited in other news outlets such as the Associated Press.

THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
The Journal runs a story featuring Professor Victor Stango's "fuzzy math" research, which looks at the intersection of economics and psychology to find out why people sometimes make bad financial decisions. For example, consumers often don't realize how much interest they will actually pay on loans that promise low monthly payments, according to Stango. "It isn't surprising that people get the answers wrong. What's really surprising is that people are almost always wrong in the same direction," explains the professor. "They underestimate the benefits of saving and they underestimate the costs of borrowing."

NPR Marketplace turns to Professor Robert Howell to shed light on Citigroup's decision to voluntarily place $49 billion in subprime mortgage liabilities on its balance sheet. Howell says Citi is right to support its funds or else it might have trouble doing business in the future. "If I lent you money and you didn't pay me back, I might not be very interested in lending you money again," says Howell. The professor also speculates that other banks might follow Citi's lead, "maybe just to shore up the financial system and be a good citizen, take responsibility for creating instruments which were full of holes."

Slaughter makes the case that globalization has indeed helped the U.S. economy as well as American consumers. He outlines a plan to make the benefits of globalization reach even more Americans. He says his dream question to be asked at the debates would be, "Many regard the current UAW-GM strike in Detroit as a wake-up call to stiffen American policies against countries like China. Do you agree with this? How would you craft an American economic policy that both allows greater globalization and also spreads its gains as widely as possible?

Tuck received its highest ratings this year for its 'well-rounded' students, their personal integrity, interpersonal and communication skills, and teamwork abilities."

In the segment, "World's Largest Toy-Maker Issues Second Major Recall," Professor M. Eric Johnson comments on Mattel's problems.

The Best Global Brand list ranks the hundred top brands of this year. New brands to the list, brands bumped off, and up-and-coming brands are discussed in the article "Global Brands: The Breakdown." Several insurance companies placed in the ranking for the first time due to advanced consumer marketing efforts while Bulgari, Armani, and other fashion brands fell from the list. "Whenever you're in the luxury category it's always tricky to keep it alive and growing," Professor Kevin Lane Keller says. "Bulgari should determine where it wants to play: ultra-rich, rich or aspirational rich."

I.B.M. recently announced that it will start offering its U.S. employees specialized savings accounts for training and education. As discussed in "I.B.M. Plan Ties Training and Accounts," these interest-bearing accounts will allow employees to determine how and when to spend the money as well as the opportunity to acquire the account upon leaving the company. Samuel Palmisano, chief executive of the company, was a driving force behind the formation of these accounts and their resemblance to 401(k) retirement plans. According to Professor Matthew Slaughter, the I.B.M. move is "precisely the kind of policy we'd like to see throughout the economy."

Directed towards nonprofits and activists, the service makes the mapping process easy, permitting users to call attention to and advocate for issues important to them. Tuck's Senior Research Fellow Quintus Jett traveled to New Orleans with a group of students to map a neighborhood which was 80 percent flooded. With the use of this technology, Jett and his team found that the neighborhood was recovering, and demonstrated how everyday citizens can take action when natural disasters occur. He explains, "There is decaying public infrastructure, global climate change and the threat of global terror. When there's a problem that occurs, why leave it to just the government?"

THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
The cover story, "Foreign Investors Face New Hurdles Across the Globe," Professor Matthew Slaughter addresses the issue of growing restrictions on foreign direct investments. The article explains how government-imposed restrictions threaten the success of multinational companies. Canada, China, Russia, and the U.S. are examples of countries that have grown wary of foreign acquirers and are limiting international ownership of physical assets. This trend which threatens international investments poses a risk for U.S. multinational corporations. Slaughter says, "This really matters because U.S.-headquartered multinational firms serve foreign markets overwhelmingly through sales in their foreign affiliates, not through exports from the United States."

The cover story "The Real Cost of Offshoring" features comments by Professor Matthew Slaughter. The article states that the harmful effects of outsourcing American jobs to low-cost countries are being hidden by a mistake in the way U.S. economic output is calculated. This mistake, caused by the way the statistics treat offshoring, creates a "phantom GDP" in which gains don't correspond to genuine domestic production. "There are potentially big implications," says Slaughter. "I worry about how pervasive this is."
