معرفی
Professor Alicia Rambaldi is Director of Research at the School of Economics, Faculty of Business, Economics and Law at the University of Queensland. She is also an Affiliate of the Centre for Efficiency and Productivity Analysis. Her academic career spans decades of research in econometric methodologies with applications to real-world economic problems.
Professor Rambaldi's research interests focus on applied econometrics, time series econometrics, state-space models, and spatial time series models. She has made significant contributions to economic measurement, particularly in developing methodologies for computation of price indices for land and property, estimation with linked administrative data, and smoothing methodologies combining spatial and temporal information. Her work bridges theoretical econometrics with practical applications in housing markets, climate adaptation, and international economic comparisons.
Her recent publications demonstrate a consistent focus on housing economics, with numerous papers on hedonic pricing models, property valuation, and the impact of environmental factors on real estate markets. She has also maintained a strong research program in international comparisons, purchasing power parity, and productivity analysis, often collaborating with leading researchers in these fields.
Professor Rambaldi is actively involved in research supervision, currently advising on topics including language barriers faced by immigrants, distributive politics, and copula models. Her completed supervision includes significant work on purchasing power parities, development indexes, trade studies, and spatial analysis of tourism employment.
Her current research projects include spatial time series models with applications to housing and land prices, transport demand modeling, and international comparisons. She has secured substantial funding from diverse sources including the Australian Research Council, Natural Hazards Research Australia, and government departments, demonstrating the applied relevance of her work.
Professor Rambaldi leads an active research group within the Centre for Efficiency and Productivity Analysis, focusing on developing and applying advanced econometric techniques to address pressing economic measurement challenges. Her work often involves interdisciplinary collaboration with researchers in environmental science, urban planning, and transportation studies.
