Why structural change calls for rethinking economic policy: PIIE-IMF conference opening session

Gordon Brown (former UK prime minister), Angus Deaton (Princeton University), Keyu Jin (London School of Economics), and Michael Spence (Stanford University) discuss challenges facing the global economy, like the green energy transition, shifting geopolitical tensions, technological innovation, and economic fragmentation. These and other structural changes require rethinking economic policies around the world.
This discussion was the first at the PIIE-IMF conference “Rethinking economic policy: Steering structural change,” April 16-17, 2024.
