Econometrics

Read more about our research in econometrics.

Research

Our research in econometrics covers causal inference, partial identification, moment-based methods, time-series econometrics, structural breaks, and specification testing. We also work on Bayesian econometrics, nonparametric methods and machine learning, networks, and financial and high-frequency econometrics. Our theoretical research thrives from having strong links with the macroeconomics and environmental research areas, as well as with researchers outside of the department in Statistics and Alliance Manchester Business School.
