About

Professor Sakib Bin Amin is a Professor of Economics and Director of the Accreditation Project Team (APT) at the School of Business and Economics (SBE), North South University (NSU), Bangladesh. He also serves as Advisor to NSU’s Master of Development Studies (MDS) program. As an applied economist, his principal research interests lie in energy economics, tourism economics, applied macroeconomics, the energy transition, sustainable development, and climate and energy policy, with particular emphasis on Bangladesh and other emerging and developing economies.

Professor Sakib holds a Ph.D. in Economics from Durham University, United Kingdom, an M.Sc. in International Economics from the University of Essex, and B.S.S. (Honours) and M.S.S. degrees in Economics from the University of Dhaka. His doctoral research examined the macroeconomics of energy-price shocks and electricity-market reforms in Bangladesh. As part of this research, he developed and applied Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) models to Bangladesh’s energy sector, contributing to the application of modern macroeconomic modelling to energy-policy questions in the country. Findings from his doctoral research on electricity pricing and reform were subsequently acknowledged by the Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission (BERC).

In 2018–2019, Professor Sakib returned to Durham University Business School as a Commonwealth Rutherford Fellow, where he conducted postdoctoral research on energy-market reform and its macroeconomic implications in collaboration with Professor Laura Marsiliani and Dr. Thomas Renström. The fellowship was supported by the UK Government. He is also a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA), reflecting his commitment to professionalism and excellence in university teaching, learning, and student development.

Since joining North South University in 2008, Professor Sakib has taught extensively at undergraduate and graduate levels across Economics, Development Studies, Environmental Science and Management, and the MBA program. His teaching portfolio has included Energy Economics and Policy, Macroeconomics, Development Economics, Managerial Economics, Econometrics, International Finance, and Mathematical Economics. He has supervised more than 95 student research projects and theses, several of which have received research and best-paper recognition and subsequently developed into collaborative scholarly publications. Many of his former students have pursued postgraduate studies at internationally recognised universities.

Professor Sakib’s research examines the interrelationships among energy security, energy-market reform, macroeconomic stability, renewable energy, energy poverty, sustainable and climate finance, gender, regional energy cooperation, and sustainable development. A second major strand of his scholarship focuses on tourism economics, including tourism-led development, sustainability, community impacts, tourism policy, and the opportunities and constraints facing tourism industries in developing economies.

He has published more than 75 peer-reviewed journal articles in national and international journals, including Energy Economics, Energy Policy, Energy Research & Social Science, Energy Strategy Reviews, Resources Policy, Economic Analysis and Policy, Economics of Energy & Environmental Policy, Environmental Science and Pollution Research, Environmental Economics and Policy Studies, Current Issues in Tourism, and Tourism Analysis, among others. His research employs a range of analytical approaches, including macroeconomic modelling, time-series and panel econometrics, microeconometric analysis, survey-based research, and policy evaluation.

Professor Sakib is the co-author of Energy Resources in Bangladesh: Trends and Contemporary Issues, published by Springer, which provides a comprehensive examination of Bangladesh’s energy resources, energy security, power-sector challenges, renewable energy, energy efficiency, and policy reform. He is also the author of The Economy of Tourism in Bangladesh: Prospects, Constraints, and Policies, published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2021, which offers a scholarly and policy-oriented examination of tourism development in Bangladesh. In addition, he has contributed numerous chapters to internationally published volumes from leading academic publishers, including Elsevier, Springer, Routledge, Edward Elgar, and IGI Global.

A defining feature of Professor Sakib’s work is its strong policy orientation. He has collaborated with or contributed to research and policy initiatives involving organisations such as the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UN ESCAP), Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA), Asian Development Bank Institute (ADBI), Climate Finance Asia (CFA), Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD), South Asian Network on Economic Modeling (SANEM), and Research and Policy Integration for Development (RAPID). His international research collaborations extend to scholars and institutions in the United Kingdom, Denmark, Australia, Japan, Türkiye, Italy, Chile, India, and other countries.

Professor Sakib is regularly invited to contribute to international conferences, expert consultations, policy dialogues, roundtables, and public discussions on energy security, energy transition, climate change, sustainable finance, green growth, regional energy cooperation, and economic development. His scholarly and policy engagements have included activities organised by ERIA, ESCAP, ADBI, IAEE, CPD, SANEM, IFPRI, CUTS International, and Durham University Business School. He also contributes commentary and analysis on Bangladesh’s energy and economic challenges through national newspapers, television discussions, policy forums, and other public platforms.

Professor Sakib has received several distinctions for his academic and policy contributions. He was the National Winner of the Study UK Alumni Awards 2022–23 in the Science and Sustainability category, received the NSU Research Excellence Award 2022 (Silver Medalist), and was awarded the 1st Best Paper Award at the 10th Annual Banking Conference of the Bangladesh Institute of Banking Management (BIBM) in 2025. Earlier in his career, he was selected to participate in the 4th Lindau Meeting on Economic Sciences in Germany in 2011, where emerging economists from around the world had the opportunity to interact with Nobel Laureates in Economic Sciences.

Alongside his research and teaching, Professor Sakib has developed extensive experience in academic leadership, international accreditation, assurance of learning, and institutional quality enhancement. As Director of NSU’s Accreditation Project Team (APT), he works closely with university and school leadership, academic departments, program directors, faculty members, and administrative units in coordinating regional and international accreditation and quality-assurance initiatives. His responsibilities have included work associated with AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) International, ACBSP (Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs), and the South Asian Quality System (SAQS), with particular emphasis on strategic planning, assurance of learning, faculty qualifications, intellectual contributions, societal impact, continuous improvement, and evidence-based quality management.

Professor Sakib also contributes to academic governance and research quality at NSU. He serves as a member of the NSU Institutional Review Board/Ethical Review Committee (IRB/ERC) and the SBE Scientific Review Committee and has held leadership roles in research, assurance of learning, self-assessment, and institutional quality enhancement. He also serves as a referee for numerous international journals in economics, energy, environment, sustainability, and tourism and is a member of professional academic associations including the International Association for Energy Economics (IAEE) and the Bangladesh Economic Association (BEA).

Across his research, teaching, policy engagement, and academic leadership, Professor Sakib’s work is guided by a common objective: to apply rigorous economic analysis to real-world policy challenges and contribute to more secure, sustainable, resilient, and inclusive development in Bangladesh and other emerging economies.

Professor Sakib Bin Amin welcomes opportunities for research collaboration, policy engagement, and scholarly exchange, particularly in the areas of energy economics and policy, energy transition, sustainable finance, tourism economics, applied macroeconomics, and development economics.
