Ahmad Sohrabian

Ahmad Sohrabian serves as Professor in the Department of Finance, Real Estate, and Law within the College of Business Administration at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. His teaching portfolio spans undergraduate and graduate courses in International Finance, Corporate Finance, Derivatives, and Econometrics.

His educational foundation includes:

• Ph.D. in Economics from UC Santa Barbara
• M.A. in Economics from UC Santa Barbara

Professor Sohrabian's research program critically examines financial market efficiency through lenses of behavioral finance, political corruption, and international investment dynamics. His work consistently investigates how external shocks—particularly financial crises and institutional weaknesses—impact market behaviors across real estate, stock, and foreign investment domains. Key methodological approaches involve comparative historical analysis and econometric modeling of market data.

His publication trajectory from 2000-2013 reveals evolving focus: early work centered on corporate investment and crisis transmission, while later research increasingly integrated political corruption variables. This progression demonstrates responsiveness to real-world financial developments, with the Asian Financial Crisis and post-2000 market turbulence prominently featuring in his analytical frameworks.

Regarding advising and funding, the absence of student listings suggests potential teaching-focused responsibilities in recent years, though his co-authored publications indicate ongoing collaborative research activity. His primary academic partnership with Shady Kholdy represents a significant research channel spanning over a decade.

While no dedicated laboratory is mentioned, his research areas imply engagement with financial databases, econometric software, and potentially real estate market analytics tools given his publication topics.
