CEFGroup is pleased to promote our 2022 Ph.D. job market candidate, Iftekhar Ahmed (expected submission: July 2022). Iftekhar’s Ph.D. thesis looks at climate risks in the microfinance industry and develops a novel systemically important index to identify Too-Big-To-Fail microfinance institutions (MFIs). His areas of interest include climate finance, sustainable finance, microfinance, corporate finance, and financial markets and institutions. Iftekhar’s intellectual curiosity drives his passion to use innovative economic modelling and quantitative analysis to support high-quality, evidence-based policy advice.
