Graduate / Being an instructor [I have master in Accounting] at various universities; SOP for PhD in Economics. [2]
Being an instructor at various Accounting and Economic departments, doing many serious researches and publishing many excellent papers in accounting, being skillfulness in Econometrics and having an infinite passion for doing more extensive and effective researches which come from my intellectual curiosity gave me some opportunities to cooperate with professors of Economics on their research projects. These cooperation led to read economic textbooks and attend to Economics seminars which got me familiar with Economics and finally I found strong reasons for pursuing my education in Economics to be an academic Economist as my goal.
Economics has, the more extensive areas of researching than accounting and conducting the researches in Economic areas will make me able to better appease my thirstiness for conducting broader researches, which have been my perennial concerns. The beauty of the application of Mathematics in always has been attractive for me, so the highly application of mathematics in Economic theories and models caught my attention. But, what makes the Economics extremely interesting to me is that as Leontief (1954) believes the Mathematics in some cases which is designed to address issues of economic problems can develop its own rules. So, I found that pursuing my education in Economics can better quell my thirst to Mathematics. Finally, a unique aspect of Economics fascinates me is that Economics can manage the public life, politicians are in need to economic theories to manage their societies, so studying Economics will make me become a more useful person in society and finally will contribute to the cause of making the world a better place to live.
I am well prepared on how to become a qualified and excellent candidate to attain a PhD. Mathematics has always been my favorite subject, so I selected the mathematics and physics as my major in high school. I was accepted in Mathematics field by Sharif University as the best University of Iran (although life had a different plan for me). I could pass all the mathematics and Statistics course during high school and bachelor with the best scores. I studied the Linear Algebra (Cherney et. al), Calculus and Multivariate Calculus (Apostol; Thomas) and took some Statistics and Operation Research Courses during undergraduate. During my master's period and after graduation, I obtained rigorous training in Econometrics and Statistics equipped myself with various tools used in economic analysis, such as SPSS, Eviews, Stata and Matlab, and learned how to apply cross-sectional and panel data methods. I expanded my knowledge of Mathematics through studying Real Analysis, Topology, differential equations, the Mathematical Economics, and Optimization Theory. My talent in Mathematics gives me an absolute advantage in studying and doing research in economics. I am confident this will help me do very well in pursuing an Economics PhD at ***.
I contributed to a project coordinated by Professor Piri namely comparative advantage of some special agricultural product in Iran's. Moreover, I assisted Professor Ghobadi on a research project investigating the relationship between earnings with Stock Returns via analyzing the data with Eviews. This collaboration led to study Macroeconomics (Mankiw) and Microeconomics (Hal) under supervision of economists and soon, I found that Macroeconomics is a field of Economics which is my interest to research, because it consists with my reasons for pursuing Economics. Since Macroeconomic events and the state of the economy affect all members of society, I found that the comprehending the trend of these events in a country or all countries needs profound knowledge and deep researches. Also, understanding the Macroeconomics and doing research in this field of Economics is the key to fathom out how to improve the living standards of individuals in the world and, thereby, to lessen world's poverty. Moreover, I believe that understanding how the whole economy functions by manipulating complex mathematic models to generate the simple and straightforward result is the greatest attraction of Macroeconomics. Since, the goal of studying macroeconomics, however, is not just to explain economic events, but also to improve economic policy, Macroeconomists can help policymakers do a better job and avoid serious mistakes. In this area I was impressed with the role of Keynes, Friedman and Samuelson and wished that one day I could become one of them.
Being interesting in Macroeconomics, I attended to one seminar about the role of Stock Market in the Economic Growth of Iran. Also, I attended another seminar about the trend of Economics Growth in Iran and its reasons. This attending got me familiar with the importance of Stock Market in the Economic and the role of economic policies and institutions in Economic Growth and led to read the books and papers of Acemoglu, Barro and Sala-I-Martin and study papers of North. Currently, I am conducting one research project about the effects of Macroeconomic Variables on Stock Price Index which I will apply the Vector auto-regression (VAR) to estimate the models. Also, I am cooperating on one paper with one of my colleague to investigate the role of financial market on economic Growth which we going to apply the GMM system estimator. Beside my research experiences, exception of being an accounting instructor, I was a teacher of Mathematics, Statistics and Econometrics at private institutions from 2010 until now and helped more than 100 Economic or Accounting students for their master's theses for selecting best methods to estimate the models and analyzing the data which boosted my confidence to be a professor at university someday.
During my graduation I want to equip myself with Macroeconomics Theories. Living in a country is experiencing the stagflation encouraged me to find a persuasive response to discrepancy economic problems like, high rate of unemployment, inflation, poverty and other challenges which my country is facing with. Also, since the economic Growth of Iran turned negative in 2012 and 2013, for the first time in two decades, I aimed to be an expert in Economics Growth. I believe in the vein of Acemoglu that doing research in Economics Growth area not only is important for Growth theory, but also is essential for modern macroeconomic analysis and social sciences. For example the Ramsey and Overlapping Generations models are two most used setups in Economics. Also, I believe that understanding the economic Growth helps to comprehend other field of Economics like Real Business Cycle Models.
During the course of this program, I aim to equip myself with the advanced analytic and research skills required to become an expert in Mathematical Economics and Econometrics. When I became familiar with Economics, I was impressed by the extent of application of Mathematics in Economics, especially dynamic analysis such as nonlinear models. Also, I was captivated by the extensiveness of application of the optimization theory in Economics especially dynamic optimization consisting of two very strong and attractive theories, i.e. Calculus of variations and optimal control theory which I supposed as startling mathematical instruments. These tools made Mathematical Economics as one research interest. I not only aim to extend the present methods but also I desire to discover some new theorems or mathematical methods to equip the Economists in confronting with economic problems. Also, Econometrics interests me as a subject of economics. I believe that mathematical Economics and Econometrics are mutually reinforcing, rather than completely alternative, tools of Economics analysis. I was interested in Econometrics first when I applied cross-sectional and panel data methods in my papers. My passion enhanced through familiarizing with a stochastic growth model under probability theory. I like to research in Econometric methodology to boost the Econometric methods to increase the ability of Economists in providing empirical verification of economic theories.
My goal is to be a professor of economics at a leading research university and become an economist can help policymakers do a better job and avoid serious mistakes. Although my GPA for a bachelor's degree is low (because of cancer of my father, I had to simultaneously study at university and work to support my family), I could verify my capabilities by ranking among 1% of admitted individuals nationwide university entrance exam of Iran (the Concours), and ranking 124 out of 24000 individuals participated in M.A. Test in accounting discipline and taking 165 out of 170 from quantitative section of GRE Test. I believe that my education suits economy very good, I have a Master of accounting with a strong background of applied mathematics and rigorous training in Econometrics and Statistics. I already have extensive research experience in Accounting and Economics independently. All this maybe makes me an academic economist, but my aim is to become a high-quality one.
*** is the most suitable choice for me to get PhD training because of its rigorous coursework, global reputation, and prominent professors, many of whom are experts in my favorite fields of interest. I hope that I would able to my knowledge about Mathematical Economics via working with Professor... and enhancing my ability in applying Econometrics method and boosting or even creating new methods for empirical researches through cooperating with professors y y y. Also, I have much inclination to advance my knowledge about Macroeconomics theories continue my researches in these areas by working with professors x x x. Accordingly, this University is the best place to pursue the academic goals as well as doing research on my favorite subjects and where I can develop and apply my potential talents. I am confident that my knowledge of Mathematics and Economics will succeed me at the PhD level in my favorite fields of interest.
