As a student of Economics I have been fascinated by the sheer magnitude of influence this subject has on the world today. Therefore I decided to pursue it further as an affiliate student in the University of Cambridge. With the world becoming a global village, the fate of all the countries is interlinked. Through my studies in Economics I want to enjoy an experience that will help me delve deeper into the nuances of this subject. Currently, while studying for a PhD in Economics, I am working on the fields of monetary policy, credit markets and the implications of the crisis for financial stability.
