Economics – Barbara Byrne

Barbara Byrne, Vice Chairman, Investment Banking, Barclays Capital, and former Vice Chairman at Lehman Brothers, gave us all an economics lesson. Here are some highlights:

  • U.S. cannot get out of the recession until the U.S. consumer starts spending again.
  • There are 1 million excess housing units in the U.S.
  • Hedge Funds and markets need boundaries or else systems are still in jeopardy of being gamed.
  • The days of using home equity like an ATM are over.
  • Endowment donors are changing to income giving from net worth giving.
  • Schools need to begin developing data on price point vis-à-vis fi nancial aid.
