History
Roubini Global Economics was founded in 2004 by Nouriel Roubini, former senior adviser for one year in the U.S. Treasury and briefly to the International Monetary Fund and a professor at New York University's Stern School of Business, and Camille LeBlanc, a serial entrepreneur in the digital media sector. The company re-branded itself as Roubini Global Economics in 2010.
As of 2011, the firm was not profitable.[4] Roubini said: "The most important thing in this kind of business is that you have to be right day in and day out. The fact that I made a right call a few years ago doesn’t matter."[4] In July 2012, RGE announced that it had acquired Country Insights.[5]
Roubini closed the firm in 2016.[6]
