2017 - 18 Year in Review

Our Purpose Movements of capital, products, and talent—which play a fundamental role in the modern global economy—have generated confusion among policymakers and the public. Debates about these economic forces, and the different ways to respond to them, can be improved by clear analysis and the skilled use of data. The Initiative on Global Markets (IGM) provides informed, evidence-based thought leadership on how markets work, their effects, and the way they interact with policies and institutions. In doing so, it upholds Chicago Booth’s finest scholarly traditions of pursuing new discoveries and ideas wherever they lead. The IGM supports original research by Chicago Booth faculty, informs the public about important ideas, and promotes high-quality interactions between our faculty, policymakers, business and financial leaders, and leading scholars from other schools. 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; Constance M. Frydenlund, ’87 and John Covell; and Thomas H. Batten, ’12.
