ABOUT ME
​I am Distinguished Research Professor of Economics at the University of Exeter Business School, Department of Economics, and Full Professor of Econometrics at the University of Bologna, Department of Economics.
​
I also act as Co-Editor of the Journal of Econometrics (2024-) and Associate Editor of the Journal of Time Series Analysis (2013-). Previously, I have been Co-Editor of Econometric Theory (2009-2024) and Associate Editor of the Econometrics Journal (2012-2023) and the Journal of Econometrics (2020-2024). I have also acted as President of SIdE - the Italian Econometric Association (2017-2019).
​
My research interests are Time series econometrics (bootstrap methods, non stationarity, unit roots and cointegration, structural change, infinite variance), Financial Econometrics (volatility modeling, duration modelling, continuous time finance; financial time series modeling) and macroeconometrics (structural VAR modelling, DSGE models).
​
My current research is on:​
​​
-
Random bootstrap measures, with applications to econometric modeling and hypothesis testing
-
Inference in econometric models for point processes and count data
-
Inference in econometric models with parameters on the boundary of the parameter space
-
Inference in Proxy SVARs
-
Econometrics of network data
-
Inference in nonstationary/cointegrated/infinite variance time series
-
Long memory modeling and structural breaks
