About

I am a Ph.D. in Applied Economics at Ibn Zohr University, actively contributing as a Graduate Teaching Assistant (Partial time). My academic journey is marked by a deep interest in macroeconomics, with a focus on macro-finance, monetary policy, applied macroeconometrics, and the labor market.

My research centers on the intersection of macroeconomics and finance, known as macro-finance. I am particularly interested in Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) models and the impact of financial frictions on economic dynamics. Additionally, I work on labor market dynamics, exploring the interactions between employment, wages, and economic policy. Committed to producing high-quality research, I aim to contribute to the understanding of these intricate relationships and their implications for policy and practice.
