Nouriel Roubini is a leading global economist, a professor of Economics and International Business at New York University Stern School of Business, and the founder of multiple highly regarded economic consultancy and research firms. At a 2006 address to the International Monetary Fund, Roubini warned of the impending recession due to the credit and housing market bubble. His predictions became a reality in 2008, with the bubble bursting and reverberating around the world into a global financial crisis.
He was assigned the nickname ‘Doctor Doom’ by the media for his persistently pessimistic economic outlooks in advance of the crisis. Given the accuracy of his forecasts, he has garnered widespread respect. In 2009, Time Magazine named him one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World. He has been repeatedly listed as one of the 100 Top Global Thinkers by Foreign Policy.
Roubini is the co-founder and chairman of Continuum Economics, formerly Roubini Global Economics, an independent, global macroeconomic and market strategy research firm. The firm's website, ContinuumEconomics.com, has been named one of the best economics web resources by Bloomberg Businessweek, Forbes, The Wall Street Journal and The Economist. He is also CEO of Roubini Macro Associates, LLC, a global macroeconomic consultancy firm in New York, and Co-Founder of Rosa & Roubini Associates based out of London.
From 1998 to 2000, Roubini served as the senior economist for international affairs on the White House Council of Economic Advisors and then the senior advisor to the undersecretary for international affairs at the U.S. Treasury Department, helping to resolve the Asian and global financial crises, among other issues.
Roubini has published over 70 theoretical, empirical and policy papers on international macroeconomic issues and co-authored the books Political Cycles: Theory and Evidence, Bailouts or Bail-ins? Responding to Financial Crises in Emerging Markets and Crisis Economics: A Crash Course in the Future of Finance. His views on global economic issues are widely cited by the media, and he is a frequent commentator on various business news programs. He has been the subject of extended profiles in The New York Times Magazine and continued coverage in The Financial Times, among other leading current-affairs publications.
Roubini received his undergraduate degree from Bocconi University in Milan, Italy, and his Ph.D. in Economics from Harvard University in 1988. Prior to joining Stern, he was on the faculty of Yale University's department of economics.
Roubini was hosted by The Common Good in Nouriel Roubini on the US & Global Economy - October 12, 2011. And in 2019 for Nouriel Roubini: Global EconomicOutlook: Upside and Downside Risks. He currently serves on The Common Good Honorary Advisory Board.
