G-20 Summit

For 60 years, the faculty at the Tepper School of Business have been guided by one core truth: the purpose of research and knowledge discovery is the long-term transformation of business practice.

The indelible influence of our research is an academic mirror of the same issues confronting the G20 leaders who will be convening in Pittsburgh:

Monetary policy
Central banking
Sovereign debt restructuring
Executive compensation
Aid to developing nations
Environmental economics and sustainability
Investment and management of energy markets, particularly electricity markets

The city of Pittsburgh was selected as the venue for the 2009 G20 Summit due to its reputation as a model for economic and environmental transformation. Likewise, the Tepper School is renowned for its pioneering research and leadership within those arenas that are Pittsburgh's unique identifiers. No other business school in the world has surpassed the Tepper School's record of Nobel prizes -- among our faculty legacy are 6 Nobel laureates, each awarded the international distinction based on work within economic sciences.
