NEW YORK CITY-Kenneth McCarthy, chief economist at Cushman & Wakefield, talks to us during an AIG-sponsored business program on commercial real estate. Among our talking points were: how the local market fare compared to other locales, whether the energy and technology sectors can jumpstart the economy and how pent-up demand is impacting consumer confidence and the retail sector.

AIG's Real Estate Industry Practice Group, led by Joseph Fobert, has partnered with GlobeSt.com to promote how the firm demonstrates thought leadership in the industry. Next week, look for the full video broadcast of the full 2013 Real Estate Economic Outlook featuring Fobert and McCarthy. Also, look for a full Thought Leadership program, including white papers by AIG, throughout the year.
