The Insightful Leader Live: The Trends That Matter in the Global Economy
In our deeply connected world, global economic and social trends affect nearly every business, nonprofit organization, and individual. In this complimentary webinar, Kellogg economist Nancy Qian will discuss the geoeconomic issues that should be on everyone’s radar as the tumultuous year of 2025 ends, including tariffs and trade, declining fertility rates, immigration, and U.S. foreign policy. Across all these topics, Qian will examine the implications for business leaders, labor, and social aid efforts, as well as the evolving identity of the United States in the global community. This event will feature a moderated interview followed by audience questions.
Nancy Qian is the James J. O’Connor Professor of Economics at the Kellogg School of Management MEDS department. Professor Qian holds a Ph.D. in Economics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and was a Harvard Academy post-doctoral fellow at the Weatherhead Center for International Studies at Harvard University.
