Meet the Young Economists of the Year!
A pleasure to meet with this year’s @kpmguk @DiscoverEcon @FT Young Economist of the Year finalists at No 11 this morning.
We talked about their work studying the impacts of AI, the growth of fintech, dynamic pricing & free trade - as well as their favourite economists & future careers. A very bright & dedicated group of young people - I left feeling the future is in good hands…
