econometrics research and teaching at the utu

This website compiles ongoing (macro and financial) econometrics research and teaching at the University of Turku. Activities are jointly operated by the Department of Mathematics and Statistics (The Center of Statistics) and the Turku School of Economics. Econometrics personnel in Statistics discipline: Roope, Samuel, Visa and Emil (back row) and Henri (front row) Copyright © 2025 UTU Econometrics | Powered by Astra WordPress-teema My main research activities are related to statistics and specifically in econometrics and time series analysis. See details: UTU Econometrics website.

The core courses include 3 time series analysis courses, macroeconometrics and 2 courses on advanced regression analysis and statistical learning In econometrics field, we have organized a course curriculum for PhD students both in macroeconometrics and financial econometrics, including connections to the national level Finnish Doctoral Programme in Economics and the Graduate of School... The list of 16 courses that I am the responsible person. Courses with * have contact teaching each year or every second year. Due to recent major teaching investments and development during the pandemic, some of the courses are available in a continuous basis (autopilot mode, see details below): Nonlinear Time Series Analysis, 6 ECTS (available also for PhD students in economics and finance) *

Multiple Time Series Analysis, 6 ECTS (available also for PhD students in economics and finance) * This is the joint website of three ongoing research projects running at Statistics (Department of Mathematics and Statistics) and Economics (Turku School of Economics), headed by Associate Professor Henri Nyberg and Post-doc researcher Kim... The projects, with links to details, are the following: The research started in the spring 2019. The personnel will include post-doc researchers, PhD students and research assistants. The goals of these projects are related to the development of new econometric and statistical methods.

The expected methodological development offers new ways of econometric analysis of economic and financial time series. The expected empirical results shed light on the behavior of macroeconomy and financial markets, valuable for various decision makers and practitioners, and having potential for new consequences to the theoretical economic and financial models. To successfully examine the new ideas, these multidisciplinary projects call for expertise in econometrics, statistics (including time series analysis and machine and statistical learning) and economics/finance. The aim is to address, for their parts, various general gaps in knowledge in the state-of-the-art of econometric research, such as: D.Soc.Sc (Statistics), Professor (Statistics, University of Turku), Head of Statistics Professor in statistics, University of Turku (UTU), with research interests in macro and financial econometrics

The core courses include 3 time series analysis courses, macroeconometrics and 2 courses on advanced regression analysis and statistical learning Overall, I am the person in charge for 15 courses/study units. Some of the courses are now available in a continuous basis ("autopilot" mode). As Head of Discipline, I am responding questions about statistics studies.

In these situations, contact first me by email. See all the details in my CV and Google Scholar profile. Links: See my website The University of Turku is an active international research university and an active academic community of 25,000 students and employees from over 100 different countries. As one of the leading universities in Finland, the University of Turku offers study and research opportunities in seven faculties. The University’s provides students with innovative problem-solving skills and high-standard, multidisciplinary education based on the latest research.

Thanks to the outstanding services, compact campus, and active academic community, international students and scholars feel at home from the very beginning of their stay. We collaborate with over 400 universities worldwide and offer our students a wide selection of courses and programmes taught in English. The University of Turku was ranked as 285th in the latest QS World University Ranking. QS Ranking ranked 1,000 universities after analysing the information of 4,000 institutions. My main field of research is econometrics (time series analysis/econometrics), with empirical applications in macroeconomics and finance. The following links will take you to my publications, domestic publications and working papers.

In addition, the last link contains datasets related to my research articles and interests. Department of Mathematics and Statistics This website serves as a guide to the programs and research opportunities available at the University of Turku in the fields of Finance, Econometrics, and other Quantitative Methods. It is designed for prospective students and industry experts who are interested in exploring academic and practical applications that our university offers in terms of research and education. Our initiative involves a collaboration between the Department of Mathematics and Statistics and the Department of Accounting and Finance. The project is supported by a multidisciplinary team of experts, including three senior researchers, several postdoctoral researchers and multiple PhD students.

We specialize in the development of advanced econometric methods and machine learning techniques tailored specifically to address the challenges posed by financial and macroeconomic data. Our research aims to enhance the reliability of risk management tools, improve economic forecasts, and integrate sophisticated statistical and mathematical models into economic studies. We are dedicated to advancing the educational offerings in these fields, providing rigorous training and recognized qualifications for the next generation of professionals. Our curriculum is designed to equip students with comprehensive skills that bridge theoretical knowledge with practical applications, preparing them for successful careers in finance and economics. We are grateful for the support from various foundations and our university, which enable us to pursue these ambitious projects. We maintain strong partnerships with key industry players, including firms like Veritas and Ilmarinen, ensuring that our research and educational programs are aligned with industry needs and contribute to solving real-world problems.

The core research areas of the department consist of microeconomic theory and public choice, macroeconomic theory and business cycles, economic policy and public economics, econometrics and forecasting, and financial and housing markets. More information on the research by faculty members can be found in their homepages. In addition, recent research by the faculty can be read at the homepage of Aboa Centre for Economic Research (ACE). ACE is a joint venture with Åbo Akademi and its purpose is to coordinate economics education and research in these two universities.
