Economic conference scheduled

The eighth annual Inland Empire Economic Forecast Conference is scheduled to be Oct 25 at the Riverside Convention Center.

The event, sponsored by the UC Riverside School of Business Center for Economic Forecasting and Development, will include analyses of the U.S., California and Inland Empire economies, according to the business center.

Topics will include employment, home prices, personal income trends, consumer and business spending and the state of commercial real estate. The urbanization of the Inland Empire – now the 15th largest labor market in the United States, similar in size to Atlanta and Washington, D.C. –  will also be studied.

Michael Manville, an assistant professor of urban planning at the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs, will lead that discussion.

Assemblyman Anthony Rendon (D-South Gate), speaker of the California State Assembly, will deliver the keynote address. Christopher Thornberg and Robert Kleinhenz, both economists with the UC Riverside Business Center, will speak on the state of the economy.

For more information call (415) 488-7195.
