About me
Kenneth Rogoff is Maurits C Boas Professor of Economics at Harvard University, and former chief economist at the International Monetary Fund. His influential 2009 book with Carmen Reinhart, This Time Is Different, a NY Times bestseller, shows the remarkable quantitative similarities across time and countries in the roots and aftermath of financial crises. Rogoff is also known for his pioneering work on central bank independence, and on exchange rates. His syndicated global economy column is published in over 50 countries. Rogoff’s national bestselling recent book Our Dollar, Your Problem: An Insider’s View of Seven Turbulent Decades of Global Finance explores the post-war rise of the dollar and the challenges ahead, and argues that the period of reliably low interest rates and inflation has likely ended. Rogoff is an elected member of the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He has long ranked among the top dozen most cited economists, and is an international grandmaster of chess.
