STATEMENT OF “ RESEARCH AGENDA” for the next 3 to 5 years: I am a financial economist with both theoretical and empirical interests. My research concentrates on two main across: financial economics as relevant for monetary policy and applied macroeconomics and financial econometrics. My focus relies on energy finance. My research uses modern applied economics that deals with basic economic issues of assigning energy resources using economic principles, tools and business models. Normally, microeconomic aspects of the budgeting and investment of energy projects and energy- economy interactions, and the policy framework of the energy sector are important aspects of energy economics. Over next several years, I have plans for three major research areas. First, I will keep updating emerging models, techniques, and materials. I will search for creative applications that can lead to successful grant and funding supports and I will also look for collaborative research on developing a paper on renewable energy and Carbon emission on cross Country. The following is expected: publishing two Journals in similar discipline and one in trans-discipline proceedings and presentations at international conference and symposium conducted by International Agency of Energy Economics.
