Paul Volcker is Barack Obama's pick to head the President's Economic Recovery Advisory Board.
"Paul has been by my side throughout this campaign, providing a deep understanding of financial markets, extensive experience managing economic crises and keen insight into the global nature of this particular crisis," Obama said.
In addition to Volcker's appointment, Obama also named Christina Romer, a University of California at Berkeley economist, to chair the Council of Economic Advisers. He selected Melody Barnes as director of the Domestic Policy Council.
