His research centers on macroeconomic policies, labour market dynamics, economic development, and the role of education in growth. He investigates how structural factors such as foreign direct investment (FDI), domestic capital formation, human capital, and infrastructure contribute to growth disparities between emerging economies like the BRIC nations and other developing countries. His work employs advanced econometric techniques including panel data regression, correlated random effects (CRE), and system GMM to analyze long-term development trends.
Dr Khan’s most recent publication in Economic Modelling (2023) analyzes FDI’s role in explaining the divergent growth trajectories of BRIC and non-BRIC countries using a 40-year panel dataset. The study finds that FDI positively impacts growth but is significantly more effective in BRIC nations when complemented by strong domestic investment and human capital. On average, a 1% increase in FDI leads to a 0.012% rise in per capita GDP, with larger effects in BRICs due to better absorptive capacity.
