Research Interest

Much of my recent research involves the use of high frequency data to inform the analysis, modelling and forecasting of financial market volatility. In particular, analysis of the relationship between the financial sector, and foreign exchange markets especially, and broader macroeconomic indicators. Other research interests have focused on the related analysis and modelling of business cycle dynamics and house price dynamics. A common theme running through these interests has been the application of nonlinear time series methods in the investigation of economic and financial market relationships and phenomena.
