“Housing has been at the core of our current economic crisis. Even as house prices continue to fall and banks are facing growing losses, we must find policies to get out of the current crisis. Professor Mayer will discuss how we got here and what to expect going forward. He will address two specific proposals he has worked on to stem house price declines and reduce foreclosures and that he has testified on at the US Senate and House of Representatives. He will also discuss how we can rebuild credit and mortgage markets in the coming years.”
Professor Mayer is Senior Vice Dean and Professor of Real Estate at the Columbia Business School. He is also Research Director of the Paul Milstein Center for Real Estate, Visiting Scholar at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research.
