Ideas:
“  Ongoing research projects include: (1) "Use of Applied Time Series Econometrics [ARIMA] to produce Short-term Forecasts in relation to inflation dynamics; (2) Medium to long-term inflation forecast for the Sierra Leone economy using structural macroeconomic and QPMs like VAR, FPAS, etc.; (3) Researched livelihood activities in Goderich, Sierra Leone - this constituted the main part of my doctoral research at the University of Birmingham, which utilises methodological triangulation techniques like baseline household surveys, interviews, and participant observation. The analysis combined both qualitative (NVIVO) and quantitative (MLR) techniques to decipher residents' to survival in the midst of meagre livelihood resources.  ”
