The Age of Emerging Markets: Research and Insights from Cornell’s Emerging Markets Institute

We are entering the Age of Emerging Markets. Economies once regarded as peripheral now account for the majority of global growth, a rising share of world trade, and the fastest expansion of the middle class. This presentation introduces the Canizares Center on Emerging Markets at Cornell University’s SCJohnson College of Business. Its  research shows how the rise of emerging markets is transforming the global economy, from shifting patterns of trade and investment to the redistribution of economic and corporate power. Drawing on this research, we will discuss how emerging markets are reshaping trade, finance, and competition globally, and what this means for corporate strategy and policy design.
