Rural economic stability and agricultural policy analysis shape the core of the academic work

Rural economic stability and agricultural policy analysis shape the core of the academic work driven by Dr. Sajid Al Noor at Tennessee State University.

Operating out of office 202M in the Farrell-Westbrook Complex, the assistant professor brings a specific focus on regional economics to the institution’s College of Agriculture.

According to tnstate.edu records, Dr. Noor joined the faculty in August 2023, stepping into the Department of Agricultural Science and Engineering. His academic portfolio spans agricultural economics, rural community resources, and oil and gas tax policy analysis. Before taking up his current position in Tennessee, he conducted extensive research on industrial diversity and economic development frameworks.

That background includes technical research such as the December 2018 study titled New Mexico’s Industrial Diversity, published through the Arrowhead Center at New Mexico State University. His educational credentials feature a Doctor of Economic Development and a Master of Arts in Economics, both earned at New Mexico State University, complemented by a Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance and Accounting from East West University in Bangladesh.

His classroom footprint covers a wide expanse of economic theory and application. Previous teaching appointments include courses in Community Development, Agricultural Policy, International Trade, Principles of Microeconomics, and Principles of Macroeconomics.

Beyond traditional macroeconomic instruction, Dr. Noor’s published peer-reviewed journal articles explore socioeconomic intersections. Notable academic collaborations include a 2017 study in the Journal of Economic Studies examining non-price competition in the United States airline industry, alongside earlier inquiries into social networking dynamics and religious freedom laws.

Recognition for his research contributions includes the Richard and Justine Adkisson Endowed Scholarship awarded in 2019 at New Mexico State University, alongside professional certifications such as the Basic Economic Development Course certificate from the Economic Development Council of Colorado.
