2015-16 IGM Year in Review

Our Purpose The massive global movements of capital, products, and talent in the modern economy have fundamentally changed the nature of business in the 21st century. They have also generated confusion among policymakers and the public. The University of Chicago Booth School of Business continues its role as a thought leader on how these markets work, their effects, and the way they interact with policies and institutions. The Initiative on Global Markets (IGM) organizes these efforts. It supports original research by Chicago Booth faculty, prepares our students to make good decisions in a rapidly changing business environment, and fosters an exchange of ideas with policymakers and leading international companies about the biggest issues facing the global economy. The IGM spans three broad areas: (1) international business, (2) financial markets, and (3) the role of policies and institutions. Thank You The IGM is grateful for the generous support provided by Myron Scholes, MBA ’64, PhD ’70; Renaud de Planta, ’87; John W. Meriwether, ’73; Ram P. Subramaniam, ’97 and Ellen M. Subramaniam, ’97; and Thomas J. Kanos, ’02.
