Dynamic Economic Decision Making: Strategies for Financial Risk, Capital Markets, and Monetary Policy

Financial decision-making requires one to anticipate how their decision will not only affect their business, but also the economic environment. Unfortunately, all too often, both private and public sector decision-makers view their decisions as one-off responses and fail to see their decisions within the context of an evolving decision-making framework.

In Decision-Making in a Dynamic Economic Setting, John Silvia, Chief Economist of Wells Fargo and one of the top 5 economic forecasters according to Bloomberg News and USA Today, skillfully puts this discipline in perspective.

• Details realistic, decision-making approaches and applications under a broad set of economic scenarios
• Analyzes monetary policy and addresses the impact of financial regulations
• Examines business cycles and how to identify economic trends, how to deal with uncertainty and manage risk, the building blocks of growth, and strategies for innovation
