While falling gas prices are great for consumers, the drop could be detrimental to the economy, says Texas A&M University Professor Detlef Hallermann. How long and low will prices fall? What are the pros and cons? Hallermann is a petroleum engineer and a professor of finance at Texas A&M’s Mays Business School. He is the director of the Reliant Energy Securities & Commodities Trading Center and director of the Trading, Risk and Investments Program. He is an expert in commodity markets, especially energy (crude, natural gas, electricity and renewables). Hallermann is available for comment by contacting Lesley Henton, Division of Marketing & Communications at Texas A&M University, at [email protected].
