Dr. Mo is a Director in the Economics Research team at Credit Suisse. His responsibilities include the analysis of macroeconomic trends for both the global and US economies and the production of the Firm's global economic forecasts. He also works closely with equity analysts in developing macroeconomic forecast models for various sectors. Specifically, Dr. Mo was among the few economists who first voiced concerns on rising structural unemployment following the Great Recession as early as September 2009. His recent work on diminishing wealth effect following the Great Recession is also among the first on this topic. On the modeling front, Dr. Mo is the main developer of Credit Suisse US recession probability indicator, which correctly predicted no double-dip back in recession in 2010 and 2011, respectively. The indictor was cited by The Barron’s 11 times between August and December 2011. Together with Credit Suisse equity and commodity analysts, Dr. Mo also developed Credit Suisse Basic Material Indicator, which tracks short-term global production cycle closely (CSBMI, Bloomberg tickers: BMIQI/BMIQI3). Dr. Mo’s research work is regularly quoted by the nation’s and the world’s leading financial media, including Barron’s, Bloomberg, Financial Times, New York Times, Reuters, Wall Street Journal, etc.
