Former WTO Deputy Director-General Joining PIIE

Former World Trade Organization Deputy Director-General Alan Wolff will join the Peterson Institute for International Economics as a distinguished visiting fellow April 15. “Alan Wolff is one of the world's greatest practitioners of international trade law, applying his expertise and broad vision in private and public service to building the case for a strong, open rules-based multilateral trading system,” PIIE President Adam Posen said April 1. “Alan has been a long-time advisor to and constructive critic of the Institute's research and policy proposals in international trade, and we look forward to having him be part of our collegial give-and-take starting later this month.” Wolff will focus on WTO reforms, China's role in trade and how countries can become more prosperous through trading, Posen said.
