NAI Global - Is This a Recovery?

NAI Global - Commercial Real Estate - Worldwide: "Robust Growth Will Follow Economic Recovery’s Slow Start, Says NAI Global Chief Economist Dr. Peter Linneman

The Great Recession has officially ended and recovery will be far more robust than anyone can imagine, according to a new white paper from NAI Global Chief Economist Dr. Peter Linneman. The economic recovery is examined and Dr. Linneman provides insight into the leading indicators that the market is stabilizing and investment activity is on the rise.

“Although the news continues to focus on the negative, the economy has bottomed and is on the road to recovery,” said Dr. Linneman. “Historically, the U.S. economy has rebounded in ways that were unimaginable at the time and usually within two years of a recession.”

Is This a Recovery?, NAI Global’s white paper, offers proof that the recession has come to an end and that recovery, however slow, is under way. Dr. Linneman discusses in depth the country’s current economic status, and provides historical evidence from past recessions to support his prediction of a robust recovery by 2012.

This latest white paper follows Overview/Analysis of the Government Stimulus Program, an examination of the federal government’s three major stimulus programs and their impact on the U.S. economy.

Dr. Linneman is also Professor of Real Estate, Finance and Public Policy at the Wharton School of Business, University of Pennsylvania, and Principal, Linneman Associates."
