The finance division is thrilled to welcome Ahmed Ahmed, who will be joining us as an assistant professor this fall. Ahmed is from Egypt and recently completed his Ph.D. in Economics at the University of Chicago. He studies topics in intermediary asset pricing, international finance and public-corporate finance. He is particularly interested in how institutional investors, namely insurance companies and pension funds, respond to different types of policies and how they can contribute to financial instability. His research has evaluated the response of institutional investors to both domestic and global monetary policy, to domestic fiscal incentives, and to domestic and global macro prudential policies. Much of his research benefits from his connections at major financial institutions, such as the Bank of England, the Bank for International Settlements, and the European Central Bank. He is a CFA Charterholder and a Fellow of the Society of Actuaries.
