About
Faheem Ur Rehman is a development economist whose research bridges international trade, infrastructure, and economic complexity. His work centers on understanding how structural factors—particularly trade-related infrastructure—shape export sophistication and diversification in emerging economies. In his highly cited 2021 study, Rehman broke new ground by examining both symmetric and asymmetric effects of infrastructure on Chinese export performance, revealing that infrastructure improvements do not uniformly boost export quality but can have nonlinear impacts depending on sector and context. This contribution has earned 16 citations and positioned him as a key voice in the trade-infrastructure nexus. Beyond this, Rehman’s broader portfolio explores institutional quality, financial development, and environmental sustainability, often employing advanced econometric techniques to unpack causal mechanisms. His research is widely read by scholars in development and international economics, and he is recognized for bringing nuance to policy debates on how developing countries can upgrade their export baskets. For students and researchers, Rehman’s work offers a rigorous, policy-relevant lens on the infrastructure-trade-development triangle.
