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. Additionally, he serves as the advisor for NSU’s Master of Development Studies (MDS) program.

Professor 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 later obtained a Master’s degree in International Economics from the University of Essex, United Kingdom (UK), in 2008. In 2015, he completed his Ph.D. in Economics at Durham University, UK.  Additionally, he conducted postdoctoral research at the Durham University Business School (DUBS) in 2018 as a Visiting Commonwealth Rutherford Fellow for a year.

Since joining NSU in 2008, Professor Sakib has been teaching various courses at both the graduate and undergraduate levels within the Department of Economics, the Department of Environmental Science and Management, and the MBA Program. His primary teaching interests include Macroeconomics, Energy Economics, Development Economics, and Mathematical Economics. To date, he has supervised over 95 research students at NSU. His students went on to win several Best Paper Awards for their outstanding research papers, which he supervised and co-authored. Moreover, more than 75 of his students have obtained master's and doctoral degrees from globally renowned universities.

Throughout 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 commitment to professionalism through rigorous training in learning, teaching, and enhancing student experiences in higher education.

As the Director of the APT, Professor Sakib has been working closely with the Honorable Vice-Chancellor (VC) of NSU and the Dean of the SBE to assist NSU in achieving various regional and international accreditations since 2019. This effort aims to develop an effective teaching, learning, and research environment, thereby enhancing the reputation of NSU on the global platform. He is also a member of the NSU IRB/ERC committee. 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 (UGC), Bangladesh. He has also held administrative roles, including Head of the Research Committee and the Implementation Plan Improvement Committee (IPIC).

Besides teaching and administrative responsibilities at NSU, Professor Sakib also spends considerable 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 Reports, Energy and Environment, Economic Analysis and Policy, Sustainable Futures, Environmental Economics and Policy Studies, Discover Sustainability, Journal of Economics, Finance and Administrative Science, Economics of Energy and Environmental Policy, Resources Policy, International Energy Journal, Environmental Science and Pollution Research, Energy Research and Social Science, Economic Papers, Journal of University Teaching & Learning Practice, Emerging Markets and Finance, Tourism Analysis, Current Issues in Tourism, Tourism and Hospitality Management, Journal of Tourism Quarterly, Bank Parikrama, Bangladesh Development Studies, among others.

Professor Sakib’s first-authored book, titled “Energy Resources in Bangladesh: Trends and Contemporary Issues”, was published in 2019 by 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, including Elsevier, Springer, Routledge, and IGI Global. He is also a regular contributor of articles to leading daily newspapers.

Professor Sakib's Ph.D. thesis focused on the macroeconomics of energy price shocks and electricity market reforms in Bangladesh. He is recognized as the first Bangladeshi modeller to develop a Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) model applicable to the energy sector of Bangladesh. The Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission (BERC) has acknowledged and endorsed the findings of his thesis regarding electricity price reforms in the country.

As the recipient of the prestigious Commonwealth Rutherford Fellowship, his research was funded by the UK Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy (BEIS).
