I hold a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of York, UK. My research interests and expertise spanning financial economics, energy economics, macro-finance, empirical asset pricing, and corporate finance. I am dedicated to investigating various aspects of financial economics, including firm investment, intangibles, and the incorporation of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors in investment decisions. With a strong quantitative background, I employ rigorous empirical analysis to examine market behavior, asset pricing dynamics, and the relationships between financial variables and real-world phenomena. My research findings have shed light on key issues such as the UK under-investment puzzle, climate risk, green finance, and industrial strategy, offering policy implications that can shape effective strategies and approaches.
My research encompasses a diverse range of areas, including financial economics, energy economics, macro-finance, empirical asset pricing, and corporate finance. Through my research endeavors, I have contributed to understanding the intricacies of the UK under-investment puzzle and has offered valuable policy implications pertaining to industrial strategy. By exploring these multifaceted fields, I aim to deepen our understanding of financial dynamics, energy markets, and economic systems, ultimately providing insights that can inform strategic decision-making, policy formulation, and sustainable economic growth.
