Olin Business School professor Phil Dybvig’s expertise is in shaping the world economy. Dybvig was one of six distinguished academics invited to address the G7 summit held May 11-13, 2017 in Italy. The G7 is a meeting of the world’s seven most industrialized economies. It plays an important role in shaping nations’ responses to global challenges and complements the G20 summit, an international forum for the governments and central bank governors of 20 major economies.
The G7 countries are Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Dybvig was invited to present his recommendations on bank regulation and growth to the finance ministers and central bank governors attending the summit.
