Brief for time savers
I have started first finance classes in Iran back in 1970's. In recent years, my research area includes investment funds and real estate finance. My latest research focuses on applicability of various real estate instruments in Iran. I have been recently involved in Private Banking Development and Investment Banking in Iran. My recent academic work concentrates on Capital Structure Theories and Financial Bubble.
Based on my research, I have engineered and started many investment funds and companies, time-share companies, real estate development companies, endowment funds, and initiated participative bonds in Iran. As a consultant in the area of stock exchange mechanism, banking, and valuation, I have prepared feasibility reports.
I have written papers on Testing Efficiency of Tehran Stock Exchange Index, MBO and Performance Evaluation in Iran, and Iranian Banks' Optimal Portfolio Management (my publications). My articles have appeared in the top Iranian journals including the Journal of Financial Research and Accountant. I’m also a regular contributor to Iranian professional and popular journals. I’ve served on the editorial boards of a few journals. During the last three years I have been publishing Sarmayeh Daily (Sarmayeh) the most prominent Iranian economic daily.
