Charles Collyns, deputy director of the IMF's research department and editor of The World Economic Outlook and his colleague Peter Dattels, co-author of the Global Stability Report, joined GBN host Steven Weber, a professor of political science at the University of California, Berkeley, for a wide ranging conversation on "The Future of the Global Economy."
The Research Department of the IMF has long been a major source of new and influential knowledge about the political economy of monetary policy, growth, and development. Policy matters, and smart policy is backed up by relevant and powerful research. While the media is filled with phrases like “unprecedented,” “unheard of,” “without historical parallel,” it's the job of people like Charles and Peter to inform and advise Ministries of Finance, Central Banks, and "Markets" on what data and contemporary theory can do to inform policy making. And to do so from the uniquely global and influential perch of the IMF.
In this conversation, Charles, Peter, and Steve explore the global financial crisis, how the IMF "got it wrong" and and what IMF research illuminates about the most important uncertainties and choices for governments and companies moving forward.
