Focus on Economist's Remarks on "Digital Business Cycle"
WASHINGTON, D.C. - An article in the Sunday Washington Post quoted remarks by Carnegie Mellon economist Kathryn Shaw, formerly a member of the Council of Economic Advisors, made at PFF’s 2001 Aspen Summit. The remarks came during a session on “the first digital business cycle,” which was focused on understanding the economic downturn and the role played by the IT sector in the economy.
