Popularly known as Dr. Doom (the title of a profile in The New York Times Magazine), Dr. Nouriel Roubini is known for his now-vindicated predictions of the current financial crisis. He speaks on the global economic outlook and its implications for financial markets.
Ignored for a long time by mainstream economists and policy makers, he now receives invitations to speak before such influential organizations as the U.S. Congress and the Council on Foreign Relations. He has been forecasting a serious financial crisis in the U.S. for years, speaking notably before a skeptical IMF about his predictions in 2006.
Dr. Roubini was named to Fortune Magazine’s list of “10 gurus you should know.”
Systematic research informs Nouriel’s opinions. From his analysis of past collapses of emerging economies he has identified common factors that support his predictions of crisis in the U.S. and world markets.
He is the author of Bailouts or Bail-ins? Responding to Financial Crises in Emerging Economies.
