[BS Math MIT (1974), Ph.D. Econ Stanford (1978)] I taught economics and econometrics at leading universities like Columbia, U. Penn., Johns Hopkins, Cal. Tech. and Bilkent University, Ankara. My textbook Statistical Foundations of Econometric Techniques (Academic Press, NY, 1996) is widely used as a reference in advanced graduate courses. My research on Islamic economics is widely cited, and has been highly influential in shaping the field. My publications in top ranked journals like Annals of Statistics, Journal of Econometrics, Econometric Theory, Journal of Labor Economics, etc. have more than a thousand citations as per Google Scholar.
