Press Release:
Upcoming Economic Forecast Brings Together Multiple Regions for Outlook
The Brea, Chino Valley, Corona, and Yorba Linda Chambers of Commerce have joined forces to bring an economic outlook to the region on Thursday, July 22, 2021 at Eagle Glen Golf Club in Corona, CA. This luncheon will feature a keynote address by Dr. Christopher Thornberg. Thornberg is Director of the UC Riverside School of Business Center for Economic Forecasting and Development and an Adjunct Professor at the School. He is also the Founding Partner of Beacon Economics LLC.
An expert in economic and revenue forecasting, regional economics, economic policy, and labor and real estate markets, Dr. Thornberg has consulted for private industry, cities, counties, and public agencies. He became nationally known for forecasting the subprime
mortgage market crash that began in 2007 and was one of the few economists on record to predict the global economic recession that followed.
The UC Riverside Center for Economic Forecasting and Development at the School of Business Administration is the first world class university forecasting center located in Inland Southern California. The Center opened its doors in October 2015 and represents a
major new initiative for economic research and collaboration in one of California’s most vital growth regions.
The empirical research and data analysis the Center produces can be used to support and feed a wide variety of vital community initiatives including providing valuable inputs to economic development, workforce development, and other public and private sector efforts. The Center’s highly publicized work also heightens the region’s profile and recognition as a vital contributor to the economic fabric of the state and the nation.
This collaborative effort will bring together leaders from Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino Counties to discuss economic trends, projections of the economy, and the state of housing. Sponsorship opportunities are available now, and this event is expected to sell out. A special golf package is offered as an added benefit to the day, for post-event business and social interactions to continue.
