Research:  

Dr. Ahmad's primary field of research lies in monetary economics. He also has research interests that lie in the area of international macroeconomics, heterogenous agent models, threshold models and models that incorporate nonlinear dynamics. He has published the results of my research in peer reviewed journals like the Journal of International Money and Finance, Quarterly Review of Economics and Finance, Economics Letters, Journal of Economics and Finance, Applied Economics, and is currently working on several research projects.

Broadly speaking, much of his current research involves examining the dynamics of macroeconomic variables and the underlying persistence of shocks hitting the macroeconomy. He is interested in understanding the transmission mechanism of monetary policy and its effects on the macroeconomy. In one project, he is currently trying to back out the inflation target that the Federal Reserve had been targeting historically. Other research is examining the time series properties and dynamics of both nominal and real exchange rates, as well as the impact of temporal aggregation in estimating the dynamics of aggregated data.
