Research stay at UC3M: DEPARTMENT OF CONTINUUM MECHANICS AND STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS (OCT 2016 - JUL 2017)

Project:

My activities at Carlos III are split into two periods. From October - December 2016 I give a course on a hot topic in Statistics: Functional Data Analysis (3 hours a week). Participants are PhD students in Econometrics. The second period is from May to July 2017. Then I will continue with my lectures with a special emphasis on applications in microeconomics. I am also the co-advisor of two PhD students at the Department of Economics. Finally, in a cooperation with my host, Prof. M. Delgado, I will continue my research on statistical analysis of stochastic processes.
