    • Management

Roberto Rigobon, Professor of Applied Economics at the MIT Sloan School of Management, is our guest in today's episode which is our seventh and final episode in a special series of interviews conducted as part of the WTCA's General Assembly, held April 26-30, 2021. Roberto's study of measurements is our focus in this episode as he explains their relevance, his "PROMISE" framework for identifying necessary measurements and the four errors often used in measurements. He then provides challenges to help companies see how measurements can affect their decision-making processes and, in return, their profits and the overall well-being of their country and the world. Roberto wraps up the interview with a discussion on inflation and the impacts of COVID-19 on inflation around the world.
