Overview
With the supply chains of modern economies extending over long distances and across international borders, the speedy and efficient movement of goods by managers along these long supply chains is an essential prerequisite for economic growth. At this event, we will be launching the Ceridian/UCLA Pulse of Commerce, a new monthly indicator of the movement of goods along the supply chain.


Given Berkshire Hathaway’s recent investment in Burlington Northern Santa Fe we expect that your opinions on the future of U.S. demands are in line with our forecasts. Also, your extensive experience and practical theories on business and finance would be an incredible addition to our program.

The conference will be taking place on the UCLA Campus and the program will run from 8am to noon. We will open the conference with our quarterly economic forecast for the nation and state and then commence with the special topic portion of our day; providing a detailed look at transportation infrastructure and its implications for the economy. Should we be fortunate enough to have you join us, we would like to discuss your time requirements and willingness to field questions and answers.

The UCLA Anderson Forecast Quarterly Conference in March 2010 will roll out the latest Anderson Forecast and address these issues.
