Corporate leaders talked about the economy. According to research by the International Monetary Fund, recessions following financial crises driven by a collapse in housing prices are historically more severe than those of a cyclical nature. Panelists discussed how the new Obama administration could ensure that the U.S. retains its competitive edge in the midst of a downturn in housing prices and a fall in consumer spending. Michael Porter moderated.

The panel answered questions from the audience.

“Advice to the U.S. President on Competitiveness” was a panel at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2009, which had the theme “Shaping the Post-Crisis World.” close
