Research Interests : Econometrics Theory and Applied Econometrics
  • Robust inference for GMM and quantile regression involving dependent data, including time series, cross-sectional, and panel
  • Robust inference for persistent (non-stationary) data, investigating linear and non-linear cointegration relationships, and (quantile) predictability of stock returns
  • Robust inference for time series (quantile) regressions where regressors are extracted from large datasets
  • (Quasi-) Bayesian approaches for non-parametric and non-smooth time series regressions
  • Applied econometrics and causal analysis of energy markets, sports markets, bond markets, financial risk, environmental data, and country panels
