DETAILS:        What is good for America’s multinational corporations (MNCs) is no longer necessarily good for the U.S. economy.  MNCs seek profit and new markets, while governments want high productivity and wages.  These interests are aligned when MNCs make overseas investments in low-skilled industrial production. But when Intel builds a $2.5 billion high-tech semiconductor plant in China, the U.S. national interest loses out as the corporate profit motive contributes to foreign GDP growth.  In his remarks, Dr. Gomory will analyze these trends and explain how the U.S. government can incentivize investment and job creation here by implementing a national economic strategy, including trade deficit reduction and tax reform.  Dr. Gomory is Research Professor at the New York University Stern School of Business and President Emeritus of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.  For almost 20 years, he led IBM’s research division. Dr. Gomory is the co-author, with Dr. Baumol, of Global Trade and Conflicting National Interests.
