Econometric Modelling and Forecasting

Our modelling approach, supported by stringent model evaluation techniques, tackles all the complications of ‘real world’ economies, to provide a viable framework for empirical modelling that avoids many of the difficulties faced by ‘conventional’ approaches.
Financial systems

We focus on developing methodologies to measure systemic risk and evaluating policies to design a more resilient financial system.
Macroeconomics and housing

We illuminate the roles of housing in the economy, emphasizing the importance of institutional arrangements (differing greatly between economies), and on how changes in house prices and mortgages in turn affect economic outcomes.
