    Overview

    This event was rescheduled from February 19, 2014.

    The balance of world economic growth is tipping in another direction. Just as economists have begun lowering their forecasts for China and other developing economies, the American economy is bouncing back. Japan appears to have turned a corner and is ending almost two decades of deflation. Economic data out of Europe suggest the crisis is finally coming to an end. What is the future direction of the world economy? How will emerging markets deal with slowing growth and the current investment outflow?
