The McKinsey Global Institute (MGI), established in 1990, is McKinsey & Company's business and economics research arm.
MGI's mission is to help leaders in the commercial, public,
and social sectors develop a deeper understanding of the evolution of the global economy
and to provide a fact base that contributes to decision making on critical management and policy issues.
MGI combines three disciplines: economics, technology and management.
By integrating these perspectives, MGI is able to gain insights into the microeconomic
underpinnings of the long term macroeconomic and business trends that affect company
strategy and policy making. For nearly two decades,
MGI has utilized this distinctive "micro-to-macro"
approach in research covering more than 20 countries and 30 industry sectors.
MGI's current research agenda focuses on global markets (capital, labor, and commodities),
the dynamics of consumption and demographics, productivity and competitiveness,
the impact of technology, global integration, and other topics at the intersection of business and economics.
Recent research has examined the economic impact of aging consumers and household debt reduction in developed countries,
the emerging middle class in developing countries, health care costs, energy demand trends and energy productivity,
and long-term shifts in world financial assets.
MGI's work is conducted by a group of full-time senior fellows based in offices in Beijing, Brussels, Delhi, London,
San Francisco, and Washington, DC. MGI project teams also include consultants from McKinsey's offices around the
world and are supported by McKinsey's network of industry and management experts and worldwide partners.
In addition, leading economists, including Nobel laureates and policy experts, act as advisers to our work.
MGI is funded by the partners of McKinsey & Company and our research is not commissioned by any business,
government, or other institution. Further information about MGI and copies of MGI's published reports can be
found at www.mckinsey.com/mgi.
