Biography

Bahar is an Associate Professor in Financial Economics. 

Bahar’s research is in time series analyses, and applied econometrics more generally. Currently she is working on co-movements in the energy markets, as well as whether climate policies in the UK have an impact on firms' efficiency and productivity.

Bahar is currently supervising Mr Haibo Zhang with Professor Corrado Di Maria.

Bahar has undertaken consultancy works during her time at UEA too. She carried out an Economic Impact Assessment for the Royal Norfolk Agricultural Association following the Royal Norfolk Show in June 2018. A team of students from School of Economics worked for this project as Research Assisstants. The project was a finalist at the Innovation & Impact Awards 2020 in the Consultancy Project of the Year category. 

Teaching Interests

Bahar is currently co-teaching Applied Econometrics (PGT) with Dr Georgios Papadopoulos. This is one of the core modules for the master students (Academic and Professional). This module is divided into two parts: 1) Time series methods (including ARIMA modelling, stationarity testing, ARCH/GARCH models, Volatility Spillover, VARs , Cointegration and VECMs) 2) Microeconometrics (including panel data methods, and models for binary response variables). Stata is used extensively. I have recently started producing some screencasts for students. Here is a sample:

If you would like to have more information regarding either of these modules, please email Bahar.
