Key things to look for at this year’s World Economic Forum

The world’s political, business, and academic leaders have flocked to Davos, Switzerland, this week for the 2015 World Economic Forum. Which topics will top the agenda this year?

The 2015 tagline, "The New Global Context," highlights a growing awareness of the changing political and economic landscape, and the technological and social changes that are affecting decision-making processes.

Talks this year will center on four key narratives: Society and security; Innovation and industry; Crisis and Cooperation; and Growth and stability.

This kind of discussion is crucial, as long as we remember the importance of consulting evidence-based research to form effective economic policies. Our articles analyze objective findings around key policy issues, from labor market regulation, to wage setting, to education, and migration, to inform this ongoing conversation.
