Jonas Nahm

Drawing on his experience as the Senior Economist for Industrial Strategy at the White House Council of Economic Advisers and his academic research, Jonas Nahm, Ph.D. addresses the evolving U.S.-China economic relationship, examining how competition and cooperation shape global supply chains in everything from logistics to clean technology development. He will explore the implications of growing global economic fragmentation and the rise of “friend-shoring” for businesses and policymakers. As an expert on the worldwide resurgence of industrial policy, Nahm analyzes recent transformative shifts in domestic U.S. economic policy, including the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, CHIPS and Science Act, and Inflation Reduction Act. His deep expertise in clean energy transitions allows him to discuss how policy choices impact innovation, manufacturing, and global climate cooperation. Through case studies drawn from his award-winning research, Nahm demonstrates how these interconnected issues are reshaping the future of the global economy.
