Dr Salma Shaheen
I did PhD in economics from the University of Gujrat, Pakistan and my dissertation topic was “Spillover of Global and Country-Specific External Conditions on the Economic Growth of Pakistan”. Prior to that, I did an MPhil in Economics from Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad in 2007 with a 3.7 CGPA and got an HEC (Higher Education Commission of Pakistan)’ scholarship during my MPhil degree programme. After completing my degree, I preferred to get some field experience. I worked as a Research Officer at the Ministry of Finance, in Pakistan. My position at the Ministry of Finance provided me with an incredible opportunity as I was able to not only compile and analyse the data on agricultural production but also make a significant contribution by writing a chapter in Pakistan’s Economic Survey, 2006-07. In 2008 I joined the University of Gujrat, now I have approximately 16 years of teaching experience in this prestigious institution. I have supervised various theses at BSc, MSc, and MPhil levels and taught various advanced courses to graduate and postgraduate students.
I am deeply passionate about conducting research and I make it a priority to stay abreast of the latest developments in the field. My expertise lies in the areas of international economics. I have authored research papers focusing on international economics and its macroeconomic effects on both my country and the broader region.

| Nosheen Shehzadi | B.Sc. | Determinants of Real Exchange Rate Volatility: Time Series Analysis of Pakistan This study aims to investigate the major determinants of Real Effective Exchange Rate volatilityfor Pakistan by employing Cointegration and Error Correction Mechanism for the period of 1975to 2013. Exponential Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (EGARCH)the technique is used to estimate the volatility of real effective Exchange Rates whereas cointegrationtechnique applies to explore the long-run relationship andthe Error Correction Mechanism appliedfor short run dynamics. Although the set of determinants can be large but this study limited toofew variables which is Real Effective Exchange rate, Government Expenditures, exports,imports, foreign direct investment and Gross domestic product. These variables are selected dueto their relative importance in the literature. After employing different econometric techniquesresults showed that in the long run all variables plays a significant role in the volatility of realeffective exchange rate. EGARCH indicate that the real exchange rate has been volatile around itsequilibrium while error correction mechanism confirms the convergence toward its equilibrium. | 2012 |
| Rabia Kousar | M.Sc. | Impact of Trade Liberalization on Economic growth in Pakistan The research empirically analyzes the impact of trade liberalization on the economic growth of Pakistan overthe period 1975-2010. Trade openness (proxy of trade liberalization), Gross Fixed Capital Formation(GFCF), Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and Inflation are important explanatory variables, while RealGDP is a dependent variable used for the model specification. The study used Johansen Co-integrationapproach developed by Johnson & Jeslius (1990) for long run relationships. The result shows that tradeliberalization and Gross Fixed Capital Formation have a positive and significant impact on economic growth.Foreign Direct Investment and inflation negatively affect the growth of the economy. Residual tests are used tocheck the overall fitness of the model. | 2010 |
