Dr Mohammad Almomani is a business academic at  College of Business and Law, where he teaches across digital business, negotiation, and applied analytics. His academic training spans business economics and applied econometrics, from a Bachelor of Business Economics through to a PhD.Before moving fully into academia, Mohammad worked as a Data Scientist, where he built applied skills in data-driven decision-making, business intelligence, and quantitative problem-solving. He brings that practical orientation into the classroom, teaching students to think analytically about business environments, digital transformation, and organisational data. His courses at Adelaide University and Flinders universities span digital disruption in business, digital solution methodologies, and coding for business in Python, all grounded in the view that economic and data literacy are core business competencies.Mohammad's research sits at the intersection of human capital, workforce economics, and organisational behaviour. He studies how retirement decisions, education, and social factors shape productivity, functional capacity, and long-term wellbeing, questions that carry direct implications for workforce sustainability, HR policy, and the economics of an ageing labour market. His work has been published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at international conferences, and he is an Affiliate Researcher with the Global Labor Organization (GLO).He holds appointments at both Adelaide University and Flinders University, and brings to his teaching a commitment to connecting economic evidence with real business decisions.

Research focus

My research examines how retirement, education and pension policy shape functional independence, health and aged-care need in later life. I study these questions with quasi-experimental designs that exploit statutory retirement-eligibility ages and education reforms, applied to large longitudinal surveys from Europe and Australia.

Current projects

  • Retirement and functional independence. How the effect of retirement on daily functioning varies with pre-retirement occupation, and what this implies for raising pension eligibility ages (with A/Prof Ilke Onur, SHARE data).
  • Education and preventable aged-care need. Whether education reduces later-life care need among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults in Australia.
  • Costs of age-related care. The economic costs of care needs among Australian women, using the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health.
  • Healthy ageing in Australia. Functional decline, aged-care use and wellbeing among older Australians, using the HILDA Survey.

Methods and data

Methods: fuzzy regression discontinuity, fixed-effects instrumental variables (FE-IV), IV-2SLS, staggered difference-in-differences and event-study designs, and time-series forecasting.

Data: SHARE (Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe), HILDA, ALSWH, ABS microdata, and household surveys from Jordan (JLMPS, JPFHS).
