Professor Farrokh Langdana
Director of Executive MBA Program
Dr. Langdana’s areas of specialization include monetary and fiscal theory and international trade and global macroeconomic policy. His research deals with macroeconomic experimentation and the role of stabilization policy in an expectations-driven economy. He has published several articles as well as five books in this area. His new book, co-authored with Peter Murphy and published by Springer Press, is titled “International Trade and Global Macropolicy.”
Most recently, Prof. Langdana’s Macropolicy course and Prof. Ignacio (Nacho) Vijil-Cabrera’s course in Pricing Strategy (Managerial Econ) were both ranked #5 and #2 by Financial Times in Economics in EMBA programs worldwide, in 2017 and 2018.

About the topic:
The current Trade battle is mostly Tariffs and government bans on selected goods and services. The next escalation—of there were to be one—would be on the dumping and outright rejection of US Treasurys. Countries such as China that have historically enjoyed Trade Surpluses with the US have “recycled” most of the US dollars back by purchasing US sovereign debt (Treasurys). If this recycling were to be interrupted, we would witness a new and vastly more detrimental chapter to this sordid global Trade War saga.
