Freddie Mac Research Director To Talk At UC About Housing Market
One of the nation's leading authorities on the housing market will be coming to Cincinnati on Friday, April 8, for a pair of UC programs.
Buchi Ramagopal is the director of financial research for Freddie Mac, the stockholder-owned corporation established by Congress in 1970 to support homeownership and rental housing. His responsibilities include research on issues related to mortgage market finance and the implications of U.S. macroeconomic performance for the U.S. mortgage and housing markets.
Ramagopal will be speaking in the morning as part of the Real Estate Roundtable series sponsored by the Real Estate program out of UC's College of Business. That talk will be open only to members of the Real Estate Roundtable.
Later, he will be presenting a lecture that is open to the public. "Does Mortgage Hedging Create Volatility?" is the title of a talk by Ramagopal scheduled for 2 p.m. in Room 1216 of Crosley Tower. That talk is sponsored by the Economics department's Hewett-Kautz Fund.
