Research Themes and Scholarly Interests

Waseem’s research has strongly gravitated towards Pure and Applied Microeconomic Theory, International Economics/Finance, Financial Economics, and Game Theory. In particular, he specialises in the analysis and application of imperfect competition in general equilibrium with a view to overcoming highly practical policy challenges.

His work has been published in ABS3/4 journals in economics, operations research, and regional studies including the European Journal of Operational Research, Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization, Journal of Mathematical Economics, and Journal of Regional Science, amongst others.

He is currently probing into the possibility of using game-theoretic techniques to solve issues related to sustainability (strategic sustainability).

He welcomes suitably trained PhD students in the above-mentioned research areas.
