Latin American economies have been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic and the lockdown measures adopted by national governments to address the public health crisis. Given the erosion of many of the social and economic gains of the early 2000s, what are the prospects for economic recovery in the months and years ahead? And how can the region ensure that any new economic growth will be broadly shared, benefiting the underprivileged sectors that have been most severely affected by the crisis?

A distinguished panel of international experts will explore these questions as part of a webinar cosponsored by Cornell's Emerging Markets Institute (EMI) and the Latin American Studies Program (LASP).

The research seminar series is an initiative of the Emerging Markets Theme of the Cornell S.C. Johnson College of Business, which focuses on engaging students and faculty in discourse over the role of emerging markets in an increasingly connected world.

Every month, we will host a speaker to expand our understanding of emerging economies through research and diverse perspectives. Join us in welcoming TJ Wong on May 7 at 12pm ET.

TJ Wong is the Joseph A. DeBell Professor of Business Administration and Professor of Accounting at USC Marshall Business School. He co-organizes the China Research Group at USC. Prior to joining USC, he served as the Dean of the business school and the Director of the Center for Institutions and Governance of the Chinese University of Hong Kong. His research primarily focuses on the institutions and corporate governance of emerging market firms.
