Nouriel Roubini is a renowned expert on why global economic crises happen, and the actions we can take to prevent them. Named one of Foreign Policy’s 100 Global Thinkers, Roubini is credited with predicting the collapse of the U.S. housing market and the 2008 recession. He is the co-founder, chairman and CEO of Roubini Global Economics, an independent, global macroeconomic and market strategy research firm. The firm’s website, has been named one of the best economics web resources by BusinessWeek, Forbes, the Wall Street Journal and The Economist.
Dr. Roubini has extensive policy experience including his time as Senior Economist for International Affairs with the White House’s Council of Economic Advisers and as Senior Advisor to the Undersecretary for International Affairs at the U.S. Treasury Department from 1998 to 2000. Other prominent public and private institutions that have drawn upon his consulting expertise include The International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.
Dr. Roubini's academic credentials are just as impressive as a current professor of economics at New York University and a former professor of economics at Yale University. Professor Roubini personally holds a doctorate in economics from Harvard University. He has published numerous theoretical, empirical and policy papers on international macroeconomic issues and authored several books including his most recent, Crisis Economics: A Crash Course in the Future of Finance.
Nouriel Roubini keynote speeches provide an outlook on the U.S. economy and risks to the global economy by examining both the downside and upside risks in the global economy and detailing the tensions and misjudgments that could hamper or support economic recovery.
Dr. Roubini's programs cover three different topics. The first is the rise of new technological trends and their effect on the future of the job market, trade and globalization. The second is the economic outlook of the world’s most influential economy, the U.S. Third is the overall long term changes, trends, and challenges that face the global economy and how they will be faced in the upcoming future.
By detailing these difficult to explain but undeniably crucial economic topics, Dr. Roubini offers audiences a way to better understand the current state of the world and what needs to be done in order to avoid risks and help it recover.
Downside and Upside Risks in the Global Economy
Downside risks include a recurrence of EZ financial stresses, given austerity fatigue and political fragility in the periphery; another fight over the debt ceiling and government shutdown in the U.S; an earlier and more serious hard landing in China; a botching of tapering by the Fed that leads to a renewed taper tantrum and spike in long-term interest rates; a few systemically important EMs experiencing outright financial/currency/sovereign crisis; secular stagnation with very low inflation and Japanification of DMs, with a sharp fall in potential growth; a geo-political development in the Middle East that spikes oil prices; a faster-than-expected pick-up in advanced economies inflation (away from disinflationary pressures), as stronger growth leads to wage growth acceleration; an escalation of geo-political tension in Asia, especially between China and Japan. With the exception of the last one, most of these tail risks are lower-probability events than a year ago.
Upside risks include a U.S. economy that grows faster—closer to 3% plus; more resilient growth in China and a smooth rebalancing of its economy; a sharp reduction in Middle East risks that significantly lower the fear premium in oil prices; significant progress in the EZ toward a full banking, fiscal, economic and political union; and an improvement in global risk sentiment that boosts risky asset prices in a significant way. Of all of these upside risks, a positive growth surprise in the U.S. looks like the most likely.
U.S Economic Outlook
The U.S. economic recovery is gathering momentum. Positives include the recovery of housing after its deep contraction, the shale gas and oil revolution, monetary accommodation by the Fed, the strong profits of corporate firms, the re-shoring of some manufacturing, stronger consumer, business and investor confidence, the rise of the stock market and of other risk markets, greater job creation and entrepreneurial dynamism. Negatives including policy gridlock and uncertainty, regulatory uncertainty and the effects of Obamacare, the variety of fiscal issues that the US needs to address (debt ceiling, medium term fiscal consolidation, fundamental tax reform, entitlements reform), the still ongoing process of deleveraging of the private and public sector; and tail risks from the global economy (EZ crisis worsening, risk of Chinese hard landing, geopolitical tensions impacting oil prices).
