Career and research

Ghemawat is mainly concerned with globalization and its effects on national economies. In 2011, he introduced the DHL Global Connectedness Index, which uses “hard data” to measure the global connectedness of countries. One of the core ideas of this is the following:

“While globalization is expanding after a steep drop during the world financial crisis, it is less widespread and is growing more slowly than widely believed. Countries with greater global connectedness tend to grow faster than those with less connectedness. "

“While globalization is expanding after a major slump during the world financial crisis, it is less widespread and growing more slowly than commonly thought. The countries with more global connectedness tend to grow faster than the countries with less connectedness. "

- Pankaj Ghemawat

Ghemawat's work serves largely as a counterpoint to the opinion of journalist Thomas Friedman , who argued in his book The World Is Flat that globalization is a rapidly growing, dominant force in the 21st century economy. In 2009 Ghemawat published the article Why the World Isn't Flat in the American magazine Foreign Policy and in 2012 held the TED conference "Actually, the World Isn't Flat" (in German translated as "The world is not flat") ). In both works he cited the compiled measurements of global connectedness to show that globalization is less widespread than is generally assumed. He revived the English word "globaloney", which was invented in the 1940s by Clare Boothe Luce and refers to misconceptions about globalization.

From 2016, Ghemawat dealt with the effects of isolationist and nationalist movements such as Brexit and Donald Trump's policies on trade, globalization and economic growth.
