• PhD in Economics, Université Paris1-Panthéon Sorbonne, France
• MSc in Economics, Université Paris1-Panthéon Sorbonne, France

Her research interests include International Trade and Competitiveness, Environmental Economics, Financial Development, and Panel Econometrics. She applies advanced econometric methods to study trade dynamics, financial integration, and policy impacts on economic growth, particularly in the context of European integration and developing economies.

The most recent publications highlight trends in analyzing the effects of global shocks—especially the COVID-19 pandemic—on European trade patterns using dynamic panel models and sectoral data. Her work frequently explores the interplay between trade openness, financial development, and economic growth, often employing threshold and asymmetric adjustment models to capture nonlinearities in economic behavior.

Dr Sova has received research funding from the British Academy for her project The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on trade flows and pattern: evidence from Europe (October 2021 – September 2022). While no formal scientific awards are listed, her consistent publication record in high-quality journals reflects scholarly recognition.
