Fact or Fiction: Is the U.S. economy miles ahead of Europe’s?

For years, we’ve heard that the U.S. economy is surging ahead while Europe struggles to keep up—but is this the full picture? With the U.S. economy now significantly larger than before COVID and Europe stagnating, the gap seems wider than ever. Add the dominance of the U.S. dollar and the fact that 17 of the world’s 20 biggest companies are American, and the contrast becomes even sharper.

In this exclusive IEMBA Masterclass, economist Dr. Stefan Legge will shed light on recent developments, carve out underlying causes, and sketch possible future paths.

Host: Dr. Stefan Legge teaches the course Value Creation in a Global Economy in the IEMBA programme at the University of St.Gallen and serves as Head of Tax & Trade Policy and Vice Director at The Institute for Law & Economics of the University of St.Gallen.

With extensive experience advising top-level decision-makers in both the private and public sectors, Dr. Legge brings a wealth of expertise in macroeconomics, international trade, and global economic strategy. He serves as a World Economic Forum Global Future Council Fellow and is a sought after expert by renowned media outlets such as the BBC World News and the Financial Times.

His work has earned him multiple awards, including most recently the 2024 Teaching Award from the University of St.Gallen and the 2023 Lecturer of the Year Award from the St.Gallen MBA programme.

Join him for this masterclass to gain actionable insights into the current U.S. and European economic landscape.
