Rochester in the News
Democrat & Chronicle (Jan. 16)
Rochester Can Innovate with the Best of Them
“In a Wall Street Journal editorial last week, Forbes magazine publisher Rich Karlgaard suggested that Rochester was to blame for the decline of Eastman Kodak Co. They overlook the exciting work being done at companies like Harris RF Communications and Bausch + Lomb, or the cutting-edge research being done at Rochester Institute of Technology and the University of Rochester.”
Rochester Business Journal (Jan. 13)
The Optimism Dividend
As Philadelphia Fed chief Charles Plosser noted Wednesday at the University of Rochester's 33rd annual economic seminar, growth for the year just concluded is likely to fall shy of 2 percent. “In the past year, the U.S. economy has failed to live up to the expectations of growth that I and many economists had at the beginning of 2011,” says Plosser, former dean and professor at the Simon School.
