Ali Karimirad

I am an Assistant Teaching Professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Washington. I received my Ph.D. in Economics in 2024 from the University of British Columbia. During my doctoral studies, my research focused on two main areas: pecuniary externalities in the trade credit market caused by limited liability and examining the vulnerabilities of supply chains and their impact on firm financial risk.

My research interests span firm dynamics, input-output economies, and financial economics. Through my work, I aim to contribute to our understanding of how financial structures, market dynamics, and supply chain interactions affect economic outcomes and firm behavior.

My teaching primarily focuses on macroeconomic theory and its applications, as well as financial economics. In the classroom, I strive to bridge theoretical concepts with real-world applications, helping students develop a deep and practical understanding of economic principles.
