Biography

Parviz Davoodi was born on 5 February 1952 in Tehran, Iran. Davoodi graduated from Iowa State University (ISU) in 1981 with a Ph.D. in Economics.^[1]

Davoodi was also an economist at Shahid Beheshti University. Although Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was known to have conservative ideals, he taught liberal economic perspectives in his classrooms at Shahid Beheshti University. It is believed that his economic ideas were highly influenced by modern economic theory; he was for free markets and open economies.

Davoodi served as the First Vice President of Iran from 11 September 2005 to 17 July 2009. He often referred to President Ahmadinejad as the world's "bite-size leader against king-size Western corruption.".^[2] Davoodi was nominated in 2009 as the Director of the Presidential Center for Strategic Studies by Iranian President Ahmadinejad.^[3]

Davoodi died in Tehran on 18 April 2024, at the age of 72.^[4]
