Ahmad Shahshahani (born September 14, 1947, in Tehran) is a distinguished economist, author, and translator currently residing in the United States. He is a graduate of the Faculty of Law and Political Science as well as the Faculty of Economics at the University of Tehran. He later pursued a PH.D in Economics from the University of Colorado (1971–1976). Upon returning to Iran, he was invited by Houchang Nahavandi to teach Mathematical Economics at the University of Tehran's Faculty of Economics. Before the Iranian Revolution, he served as Assistant Dean of the Faculty of Economics. After permanently relocating to the United States in 1979, he taught at California State University and went on to lead a team of economic experts at the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
Life and Career
[edit]Ahmad Shahshahani was born in 1947 in Tehran, into a family renowned for scholarly prominence and public service. He is the only son of Hossein Shahshahani, a statesman and close colleague of Mohammad Mossadegh. He graduated from Andisheh (Don Bosco) High School[1] in Tehran, with a focus on mathematics. Recognized as an outstanding student, he earned numerous awards and medals in social sciences throughout his high school years. In 1965 he was admitted to the Faculty of Law, Political Science, and Economics at the University of Tehran to continue his studies. By November 1967, the economics department had branched out from the Faculty of Law, establishing the independent Faculty of Economics on Amirabad Street in Tehran.
Upon graduating in March 1969, Shahshahani intended to pursue studies in the United States and sought a military exemption following his father's passing. However, when he visited the conscription office, he was unexpectedly declared eligible for service and subsequently drafted for a two-year term beginning in 1969. During his basic training at the Pādegān-e Jey in Tehran, an unfortunate turn of events saw his entire battalion falsely accused of insubordination. They faced military trials, convictions, and were ultimately dismissed from the army. Reassigned to the gendarmerie, he and his fellow soldiers were exiled to remote outposts, including Zahedan, with all members demoted to the rank of private.
In May 1971, after completing his service, he traveled to the United States on a University of Tehran scholarship to further his studies. Following the completion of his Ph.D. in Economics, he returned to Iran, where he took over from Dr. Hossein Pirnia, the founding figure of the Faculty of Economics, to teach mathematics for economics at the University of Tehran. In June 1979, amid the onset of the Cultural Revolution and the Islamization of universities, he permanently immigrated to the United States, where he joined California State University as an economics professor. By April 1991, Shahshahani was appointed to lead a team of economic experts at the U.S. Department of the Treasury. During his tenure, he not only directed critical economic initiatives but also launched a specialized quarterly journal in the field of Transfer Pricing, established the first economic website for the U.S. Government, and developed guidelines for economic reporting. His significant contributions earned him numerous awards and commendations throughout his service.
