Welcome

I am a Professor of Econometrics at the Adam Smith Business School of the University of Glasgow, one of the six ancient universities in the UK founded in 1451. I am also an adjunct researcher at the Center for Applied Macroeconomics and Commodity Prices (CAMP) of the BI Norwegian Business School.  Finally,  just for 2024, I hold a visiting scholar position at the Banque de France, and I am serving as an external examiner for the University of Warwick (Dpt of Economics).

My expertise is in time series analysis and forecasting of macroeconomic and financial data, with a focus on high-dimensional inference and computation. I am primarily interested in flexible modeling and fast approximate computation methods for small samples (typically macroeconomic data with many series but a small number of observations), and for that reason my work relies on Bayesian statistics as well as other statistical machine learning methods and algorithms. Over the years I have developed several forecasting and structural econometric models for central banks, government and other policy institutions, that require to monitor thousands of economic indicators using fast, flexible algorithms that allow real-time decision-making with low maintainance cost.

Feel free to browse my webpage, where you will find latest and past research papers, as well as plenty of code that replicates all the algorithms I have developed over the years. For regular updates about my research activities, you can follow me on LinkedIn.
