During the Covid-19 pandemic he was one of the few economists on record to correctly push back against the forecasting community’s panicked predictions of a depression. In the past two years\, he has again stood against the grain\, and stood out\, for accurately forecasting that there \nwould be no recession. \nDr. Thornberg left a teaching position at UCLA’s Business School in 2006 to found Beacon Economics\, and under his leadership\, the firm has become one of the nation’s most respected economic research organizations. He consults globally for private industry\, cities\, counties\, and public agencies.
