comments@piie.com (Peterson Institute for International Economics) — Tue, 19 Mar 2013 10:00:00 -0400

Coauthor Robert Z. Lawrence discusses the findings of Rising Tide: Is Growth in Emerging Economies Good for the United States? at a book release meeting at the Peterson Institute held March 19, 2013.
