Improved theory and practice in econometric modelling of nonlinear spatial time series. Modern Australia faces many challenges in economic and global climate changes, which require advanced statistical technologies in modeling and forecasting of econometric spatial time series data. This project will provide flexible models and methods that enable practitioners to more accurately measure and manage economic and climatic risks.
Diversification failures and improved measures of uncertainty. The project aims to develop new statistical tools, applicable when the conventional paradigm that diversification reduces risk fails and when textbook approaches to risk quantification severely under-report risk. The new tools enhance our capacity to build and manage natural, social and human-made systems in uncertain environments. Our effective response to many threats including financial crises and natural events, depends on this c ....Diversification failures and improved measures of uncertainty. The project aims to develop new statistical tools, applicable when the conventional paradigm that diversification reduces risk fails and when textbook approaches to risk quantification severely under-report risk. The new tools enhance our capacity to build and manage natural, social and human-made systems in uncertain environments. Our effective response to many threats including financial crises and natural events, depends on this capacity. Thus, the expected benefits in the form of more reliable and robust risk analytics will accrue when they are most needed.Read moreRead less
Trending time series models with non- and semi-parametric methods. The outcomes of this project will not only complement but also enhance the existing strengths and reputation of Australian researchers in the field of econometrics. The outcomes are also expected to help improve model building and forecasting from better models in climatology, economics, environmetrics and financial econometrics.
