Dr. Moodhi AlOtaibi
Assistant Professor of Economics
BIOGRAPHY
I was working with Arab Open University as the Assistant President for Financial & Administrative Affairs, Saudi Arabia. Besides, Vice Professor of Economics at the College of Business. Economics gave me the opportunity to introduce individuals to a dynamic field that I love. My goal is, simply, to provide individuals with a set of analytical tools for understanding and contributing to the real life. When individuals are able to explain the market and economic factors that they see in the economies, discuss current events with economic principles, and analyze policy debates, I know that I have given them tools that they can exercise in their personal lives, future careers. My research interests are corporate finance, financial statement analysis and the economic theories
with focus on diversification in the Saudi Economy and relevant economies (MENA and South Asian Economies).
My colleagues would describe me as a driven, resourceful individual who maintains a positive, proactive attitude when faced with adversity. Strong education professional with a PhD in Economics focused in Economics from Howard University, Washington, DC. The last fifteen years, I moved between many continents such as Asia, Africa, North America and Europe.
