Curriculum Vitae
 

Dr. Sakib Bin Amin is a Professor in the Department of Economics and the Director of the Accreditation Project Team (APT) at the School of Business and Economics (SBE) at North South University (NSU), Bangladesh. 

Dr. Sakib received his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Economics from Dhaka University in 2002 (held in 2004) and 2003 (held in 2005), respectively. He also obtained a Master’s degree in International Economics from the University of Essex, UK, in 2008. In 2015, he completed his Ph.D. in Economics at Durham University, UK. He also had the opportunity to conduct his postdoctoral research at the Durham University Business School (DUBS) as a visiting Commonwealth Rutherford Fellow in 2018 for a year.

Since his joining NSU in 2008, Dr. Sakib has been teaching different courses at both graduate and undergraduate levels. His main teaching interests include Macroeconomics, Energy Economics, Development Economics, and Mathematical Economics. As of now, he has supervised more than 90 research students at NSU. His students went on to win a few Best Paper Awards for their outstanding research papers that were supervised and co-authored by him.

During his academic career, he completed a professional development programme at the Higher Education (HE) Academy and received the prestigious Fellowship Award (FHEA). This fellowship demonstrates a personal and institutional commitment to professionalism through rigorous training in learning, teaching, and student experiences in higher education.

As the Director of the APT, Dr. Sakib has been working with the Dean of the SBE to assist NSU in achieving various regional and international accreditations since 2019, for developing an effective teaching, learning, and research environment and enhancing the reputation of NSU on the global platform. Previously, he served as the Head of the Self-Assessment Committee (SAC) for the Department of Economics under the Institutional Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC), a project funded by the World Bank and the University Grant Commission, Bangladesh. He also extended his administrative service to his department as the Head of the Research Committee and Improvement Plan Implementation Committee (IPIC).

Besides teaching and administrative responsibilities at NSU, Dr. Sakib also spends a considerable amount of time conducting policy-oriented and impactful research on energy and tourism economics in developing countries, which is documented in top-tier journal articles, authored books, book chapters, reports, etc. So far, he has published over 75 journal articles in different peer-reviewed local and international journals such as Energy Economics, Energy Policy, Energy Strategy Reviews, Energy Report, Energy & Environment, Economic Analysis and Policy, International Energy Journal, Environmental Science and Pollution Research, Energy Research & Social Science, Economic Papers, Emerging Markets and Finance, Tourism Analysis, Current Issues in Tourism, Bank Parikrama, Bangladesh Development Studies, among others.

Dr. Sakib’s first authored book was published in 2019, titled Energy Resources in Bangladesh: Trends and Contemporary Issues in Springer International. This book is the first book of its kind to be published in the context of the Bangladesh energy scenario, discussing energy policies and presenting thought-provoking solutions to energy-related issues. In 2021, he published his second book: The Economy of Tourism in Bangladesh: Prospects, Constraints, and Policies, in Palgrave Macmillan. This book is one of the first to explore tourism in Bangladesh in scholarly detail, examining driving factors behind the growth of the industry, as well as the challenges it needs to overcome. It provides recommendations for policymakers, as well as a rich tapestry of scholarly work for researchers interested in Bangladesh, tourism management, and the study of developing economies. Moreover, around 15 of his research outcomes were published as book chapters in leading international academic publishers such as Elsevier, Springer, Routledge, IGI Global, etc. He is also a regular contributor of articles to leading daily newspapers.

It is worth mentioning that Dr. Sakib’s Ph.D. thesis focused on the Macroeconomics of Energy Price Shocks and Electricity Market Reforms in Bangladesh and that he is the first Bangladeshi modeller to develop a Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) model in relevant to the Bangladesh energy sector. The Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission (BERC) has acknowledged and underpinned the findings of his Ph.D. thesis in reforming the electricity prices of Bangladesh.

Being the receiver of the prestigious Commonwealth Rutherford Fellowship, his research was funded by the UK Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy (BEIS). At DUBS, he worked with Dr. Laura Marsiliani and Dr. Thomas Renström on the energy market reform in Bangladesh. The QS WOW NEWS published his fellowship story in the May 2018 edition.

Furthermore, Dr. Sakib is invited to different scholarly events regularly. In 2023, he was invited as a panelist in a panel discussion arranged by DUBS titled “Fixing Our Climate: The Bangladesh Perspective”, where he discussed the importance of gender integration in the energy sector and in energy policy formulation. He was invited as a keynote speaker at the International Symposium on Higher Education in 2022, held at the North South University (NSU), on the theme “The Future of the University: Challenges and Opportunities”.

He also attended as a distinguished speaker at the conference organised by International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) and International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) in 2022, where he spoke about gender inequalities in energy policies. Moreover, he was invited as an alumni scholar to the conference titled “Interchange22” hosted by British Council to discuss and exchange ideas relating to Climate Change, Renewable Energy, and Sustainability in Bangladesh in 2022.

In 2021, he delivered a talk on green finance policies to accelerate economic recovery in ASEAN countries as an invited speaker at the special track session of the 10th International Conference on Asian Economic Development (AED). He also presented his paper in the webinar titled “Innovative Finance for Technological Progress: Roles of Fintech, Financial Instruments, and Institutions” organised by Tokai University (Japan) and Iran National Innovation Fund, Technology Studies Institute in the same year.
