Mihai Mutascu is a Professor of Public Economics at the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration, West University of Timisoara (Temeswar - Romania). He primarily teaches courses on Public Economics and Taxation. With more than 10 years of experience, Mihai Mutascu is a pioneer researcher in promoting the wavelet methodology in economics and energy/environmental economics. This new vanguard method (i.e. time-frequency) has more advantages compared with classical time-series methods as it allows analysing the co-movements between variables over different bands of frequency and various sub-periods of time in terms of both signs and direction of the interaction. This technique is borrowed from astronomy, audio-video processing, medicine or geophysics and has been accordingly adapted by Mihai Mutascu in different topics of economics, such as producer and consumer price indexes (Tiwari et al, 2013); international oil price and exchange rates (Tiwari et al, 2013b); tax-public spending interaction (Mutascu, 2017; Magazzino and Mutascu, 2019); gas emissions and trade openness (Mutascu, 2018; Mutascu and Sokic, 2020); capital market volatility and shocks (Mutascu and Hegerty, 2020; Horky et al., 2021), fuel price co-movements (Albulescu and Mutascu, 2021; Mutascu et al., 2022) and oil versus renewable energy (Horky et al., 2023).

Prof. Mutascu was awarded a prestigious Marie Skłodowska-Curie Research Fellowship,[1] financed by the European Commission, which he undertook at the University of Orléans, Laboratoire d'Économie d'Orléans (LEO), under the aegis of the Loire Valley Institute for Advanced Studies in Orléans & Tours - Le Studium. In 2021, Prof. Mutascu was awarded the DAAD Research Fellowship, which he pursued at Zeppelin University in Friedrichshafen, Germany.

He is also the founder of the East-European Center for Research in Economics and Business (ECREB), affiliated with the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration at the West University of Timisoara. ECREB functions as a research center with full freedom of expression, focusing on economics and business research. The center strongly promotes partnerships with other research centers, laboratories, and similar institutions worldwide.
