Career
changeRoubini combined academic research with policy making by teaching at Yale and then in New York, while also being employed at the International Monetary Fund, the Federal Reserve, World Bank, and Bank of Israel. He is now a professor at the Stern School of Business at New York University. He once said "I've been studying emerging markets for 20 years, and saw the same signs in the U.S. that I saw in them, which was that we were in a massive credit bubble,"
He joined Clinton administration in 1998 as a economist in the White House Council of Economic Advisers and later moved to the Treasury department as a senior adviser to Timothy Geithner, then the undersecretary for international affairs, who in 2009 became Treasury secretary in the Obama administration.
He acknowledges a quite number of economists for his understanding of economics, stating:
One person who has had a great impact on me intellectually was my adviser at Harvard, Jeffrey Sachs. For me he's the model of a great intellectual. He is both a rigorous academic and very human, involved in big picture issues such as poverty, AIDS, and Africa. He's someone with a great mind that is also very engaged with the world. Another intellectual hero is Larry Summers, the former President of Harvard, an amazing intellectual and academic, who is very deeply involved with the policy world. I worked for him for many years in the US Treasury during the Clinton Administration.[5]
