About Alan Blinder
- Alan Stuart Blinder ((, born October 14, 1945) is an American economist who is a professor at Princeton University.
- He is also a co-founder and a vice-chair of the Promontory Interfinancial Network, LLC. Blinder is among the most influential economists in the world according to IDEAS/RePEc, and is "considered one of the great economic minds of his generation."He served on President Bill Clinton's Council of Economic Advisers from January 1993 to June '94 and as the Vice Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System from June 1994 to January 1996.
- Blinder's recent academic work has focused particularly on monetary policy and central banking, as well as the "offshoring" of jobs, and his writing for lay audiences has been published primarily but not exclusively in The New York Times, The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal, where he now writes a regular monthly op-ed column. Regarding the 2008 near-meltdown of major financial institutions, Blinder drew ten lessons for fellow economists, including: "It can happen here," "Fraud and near-fraud can rise to attain macroeconomic significance," "Excessive complexity is not just anti-competitive, it's dangerous," and "Go-for-broke incentives will induce traders to go for broke."
