I am currently a central bank economist and applied researcher at Bangladesh Bank. In June 2024, I obtained a PhD in Economics from the School of Economics and Management at Wuhan University (China).

My research interests are monetary policy, the economics of climate change, climate demography, the labour market, climate risk and financial markets, and geopolitics.

Research In Progress

1. Geopolitical Risk, Wartime Economic Policy Uncertainty, and Carbon Intensity [In press] 
   → Do wars make countries dirtier? This paper examines how geopolitical risk and wartime uncertainty shape carbon emissions across different levels of intensity.
   
2. Energy Price Shocks and Climate Concern: Evidence from Causal Forest Analysis [In Press]
   → Using causal forest analysis, this paper reveals that energy price shocks reshape climate attitudes unevenly — with divergent responses across demographic groups.
   
3.  Nonlinear Policy Interactions and Optimal Green Lending by Banks [Under Review]
   → Can banks finance the green transition fast enough? This project models lending behaviour under climate policy and capital constraints.
   
4. How Markets Respond to Biodiversity Disclosure: An Event Study with Sentiment Overlay (Preprint)
   → This paper provides early evidence that voluntary biodiversity disclosure commitments are value-relevant.
5. Too Old to Deflate? Age Structure and Inflation Persistence
   → This paper argues that ageing weakens the transmission of monetary tightening through the credit, portfolio, and expectations channels.
