Dan Zhu

Hello, welcome to my website. This is Dan Zhu, currently a Professor at the Department of Econometrics and Business Statistics, Monash University Australia.   My main research focus is the study of Monte-Carlo methods, especially their application in Bayesian Econometrics.  My work has been published in leading Econometrics, Operations Research and Actuarial journals. For future research direction, I will explore the use of the Monte-Carlo method in more complex models, with application in high-dimensional macro time series analysis. 

I am also a Fellow of the Actuarial Institute. 

My original thoughts on personal websites were quite negative. As an 'arrogant academic,' I almost felt ashamed of having a site that seemed to 'promote' me. But over time, I took a different view from some of my colleagues—this is more about promoting my work and making it easier for people to track the literature. Now, when I really think about it, what’s my best output? That must be my two boys. Well, Hansen refuses, so I have to include Hanlin.
