Join the La Follette School of Public Affairs and IRIS NRC for a lecture with Dr. Indermit Gill, Chief Economist of the World Bank Group, and the Senior Vice President for Development Economics at the World Bank.
Before starting this position on September 1, 2022, Gill served as the World Bank’s Vice President for Equitable Growth, Finance, and Institutions, where he helped shape the Bank’s response to the extraordinary series of shocks that have hit developing economies since 2020. Between 2016 and 2021, he was a professor of public policy at Duke University and non-resident senior fellow at the Brookings Institution’s Global Economy and Development program. Gill led the World Bank’s influential 2009 World Development Report on economic geography. His work includes introducing the concept of the “middle-income trap” to describe how countries stagnate after reaching a certain level of income. He has published extensively on key policy issues facing developing countries—among other things, sovereign debt vulnerabilities, green growth and natural-resource wealth, labor markets, and poverty and inequality.
This event is the inaugural lecture in the lecture series International Organizations and You: Bridging the Global and the Local. It will be held on Thursday, November 2nd at 4:30PM in Fluno Center Executive Dining Room. Register at the “Register Here” button below.
