Research:  

Dr. Ahmad's major field of reseach lies in monetary economics. He also has research interests that lie in the area of international macroeconomics, heterogenous agent models, and threshold models. He has published the results of his research in outlets like the Quarterly Review of Economics and Finance, Economics Letters, the Journal of Economics and Finance, Applied Economics, and is currently working on several research projects.

Broadly speaking, much of Dr. Ahmad's current research involves the transmission mechanism of monetary policy, and in trying to identify channels by which monetary policy shocks impact the economy. His work also includes trying to find tractable means of incorporating heterogeneity into the existing representative agent framework.

The other broad strand of his research involves exchange rates and examining the extent to which they exhibit nonlinear dynamics. He is also interested in examining the role of expectations and moving away from the Rational Expectations paradigm by looking to see how the distribution of expectations may impact results from economic models.
