Research projects
The research encompassing the financial contagion and systemic stability of the financial sector is the core of my contributions to the body of knowledge. The incidents of recurring financial crises in the previous decades and need to explore alternative financial models and their levels of systemic risks have motivated my research questions. The failure of conventional finance has further highlighted the need to explore some diverse/ minority financial models, their contagion levels, competition effects and multi-layer governance impacts, in order to devise/ enhance and regulate a more stable financial economy for the times to come. My research contributions in this manner are explicit that I want to explore the systemic abilities, competition and governance impacts of alternative minority financial models (such as Islamic finance) and their comparison with the conventional sector to explore a system that is more sound and less likely to suffer future calamities.
Currently aiming for ABS 3* and 4 level publication of the research papers. The three research papers include the topic of systemic risk of alternative financial systems, impact of competition among the alternative financial systems on their systemic risk and how the multi-layer governance in minority finanical models impat their systemic financial stability.
