Research Interests
M. Hashem Pesaran has made significant contributions in time series and panel data econometrics. He is the developer of the Global Vector Autoregressive (GVAR) approach used extensively by many economists and international institutions, including IMF, ECB and the World Bank to study and predict international spillover effects and interdependencies in the global economy. By inventing this model, Pesaran has helped in transforming our understanding of interconnectedness of international financial systems and global risk taking.

Tight Race in US Election 2020 Forecast
A new method of forecasting the US presidential race appears to show the Democrats will win the popular vote. The forecast is tight, but indicates voters have a short memory of seismic economic events over the past few years. Emeritus Professor Hashem Pesaran explains why his model would have also forecast the U.S. Presidential election of 2016 which caught many by surprise.

Economic Consequences of Covid-19
Dr. Kamiar Mohaddes, with Alexander Chudik (Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas), M. Hashem Pesaran (University of Southern California), Mehdi Raissi (IMF) and Alessandro Rebucci (Johns Hopkins Carey Business School) have published an article for VOXeu titled "Economic Consequences of Covid-19: A Counterfactual Multi-Country Analysis".This column shows that the global recession is likely to be long lasting, with no country escaping the impact of Covid-19 regardless of their mitigation strategy; our findings call for a coordinated multi-country policy response to the pandemic.
The column was also included in the World Economic Forum as part of the Jobs Reset Summit, "The economic consequences of COVID-19: Why no country is immune".
