Majid Al-Sadoon

Majid Al-Sadoon serves as Associate Professor and Director of Research at Durham University Business School. His academic trajectory includes a PhD from Cambridge University (2011), Assistant Professorship at Universitat Pompeu Fabra, and Robert Solow Postdoctoral Fellowship at Cambridge. He maintains active research in econometrics with publications in Journal of Econometrics, Econometric Theory, and Econometric Reviews.

Education and Early Career:

• PhD, University of Cambridge (2011)
• Robert Solow Postdoctoral Fellow, University of Cambridge
• Assistant Professor, Universitat Pompeu Fabra

His research centers on Econometric Theory and Time Series Analysis, developing innovative methodologies for linear rational expectations models through spectral and linear systems approaches. Key contributions include subspace Granger causality testing, consistent estimation for panel data with sample selection, and unified frameworks for rank testing, bridging theoretical econometrics with macroeconomic and financial applications.

Publication trends (2014-2024) reveal progressive methodological sophistication: early geometric causality analysis evolved into advanced rational expectations modeling, with increasing focus on spectral solutions and structural identification. His work consistently addresses core challenges in dynamic systems while expanding into high-dimensional panel data and nonlinear model specification.
