Econometrics

Lead: Professor Lorenzo Trapani

This research group will focus on the research that deals with theoretical and applied econometrics. Members of this group will work on the devlopment of econometric methodologies, and on their application, to micro and macro economic problems, and on such topics as time series, causal inference, financial econometrics and machine learning. The purposes of the group will also be to help mentor junior colleagues who wish to work in this field; to provide an intellectual powerhouse for those colleagues who, despite being primarily associated with other groups, carry out research which requires data analysis; and to foster a culture of research-driven teaching.
