Nouriel Roubini is a professor of economics at New York University’s Stern
School of Business. He is also CEO of Roubini Macro Associates, LLC, a global
macroeconomic consultancy firm in New York, as well as Co-Founder of Rosa &
Roubini Associates based out of London. 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 of these upside-down balance sheets
became a reality in 2008, with the bubble bursting and reverberating around the
world into a global financial crisis - a recession we’re only recently
rebounding from after a decade climb.
Dr. Roubini has extensive policy experience as well as broad academic
credentials. He was Co-Founder and Chairman of Roubini Global Economics from
2005 to 2016 – a firm whose website was named one of the best economics web
resources by BusinessWeek, Forbes, the Wall Street Journal and the Economist.
From 1998 to 2000, he 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.
The International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and numerous other prominent
public and private institutions have drawn upon his consulting expertise.
He has published numerous theoretical, empirical and policy papers on
international macroeconomic issues and coauthored the books “Political Cycles:
Theory and Evidence” (MIT Press, 1997) and “Bailouts or Bail-ins? Responding to
Financial Crises in Emerging Markets” (Institute for International Economics,
2004) and “Crisis Economics: A Crash Course in the Future of Finance” (Penguin
Press, 2010). Dr. Roubini’s 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
other leading current-affairs publications. The Financial Times has also
provided extensive coverage of Dr. Roubini’s perspectives.
Dr. Roubini received an undergraduate degree at Bocconi University in Milan,
Italy, and a doctorate in economics at Harvard University. Prior to joining
Stern, he was on the faculty of Yale University’s department of economics.
