Known as Dr. Doom, because he is always pessimistic regarding the market and economy, Nouriel Roubini is an American professor of economics at Stern School of Business. He is born is 1959 and is also the chairman of an economic consultancy firm: Roubini Global Economics.
In an interesting post at insidermonkey.com, the author created a market indicator he called the Roubini Sentiment Indicator. The indicator was created by measuring the popularity of the keyword "roubini" in Google. The data was downloaded using Google Trends, which is a tool that returns a search volume index for any keyword you provide.
The author of this post founds that the Roubini Sentiment Indicator has a negative correlation (-0.68) with the S&P500 and a positive correlation (0.82) with the popular CBOE volatility index, VIX. Using the Granger Causality Test, the results show, with a high degree of statistical significance, that the Roubini Sentiment Indicator causes the VIX Index up to two weeks in advance.
