Teaching Strengths

College of Business and Law
I am Shuhrat Yarashov, an economist with a PhD in Economics from the University of Adelaide, where my doctoral research was supported by a University of Adelaide Research Scholarship. I currently work as a Research Assistant on an ARC Linkage Projects.
My research interests include macroeconomics, government spending efficiency, income inequality, poverty, and agricultural and resource economics. My work uses applied econometric methods to examine how public policies and resource availability affect economic and social outcomes.
With over a decade of strategic experience in economic policymaking and a solid academic foundation in econometrics and development economics, my research is driven by a commitment to evidence-based analysis of pressing socio-economic challenges. I bring to my scholarly work a blend of high-level government service and rigorous academic inquiry, focusing on the interplay between public expenditure, institutional quality, and socio-demographic outcomes in transitional and post-conflict economies.
Currently a PhD candidate in Economics and a tutor at University of Adelaide, my primary research explores the socio-economic consequences of military expenditures. Furthermore, my research interests are development economics, fiscal policy, government spending efficiency, and inequality.
In addition to my scholarly output, I am actively involved in guiding undergraduate research and promoting statistical literacy, with teaching responsibilities spanning subjects such as Economic Principles, Data Analytics, and Intermediate Econometrics.
My research philosophy is grounded in methodological transparency, cross-country comparative analysis, and a firm belief in the power of data to inform equitable and sustainable economic policies. As I continue to develop my academic profile, I am particularly interested in interdisciplinary collaborations at the intersection of economics, public policy, and demography, with a focus on resilience-building in transitioning societies.
