Asim Ijaz Khwaja Biography

Asim Ijaz Khwaja holds a prominent position as the Sumitomo-FASID Professor of International Finance and Economic Development at the renowned Harvard Kennedy School. In addition to this, he serves as a Visiting Professor of Business Administration at the Harvard Business School. Adding to his responsibilities, he is the director of the Center for International Development at Harvard University, contributing to the global economic discourse from one of the world's leading academic institutions.

Khwaja's contributions to the field of economics extend beyond academia. He co-founded the Center for Economic Research in Pakistan, and remains an active co-director. His entrepreneurial spirit is reflected in his co-founding of the Entrepreneurial Finance Lab, a social enterprise that has facilitated over $1.5 billion in lending to small entrepreneurs across 27 countries. His practical involvement in economics and finance is further demonstrated through the creation of RISE-PAK, a searchable database for earthquake relief in Pakistan.

His extensive research interests, ranging from development economics to industrial organization, have led to his work being published in preeminent economics journals such as "American Economic Review" and "Quarterly Journal of Economics". He is an expert in applying microeconomic theory to policy questions, demonstrated through his rigorous empirical analysis and microeconomic theory. Khwaja's insights have also garnered attention from mainstream media outlets like "The Economist", "The New York Times", and "Washington Post", among others. His literary contribution includes the authorship of "Enterprising Psychometrics and Poverty Reduction".
