معرفی
Marco Barassi is an Associate Professor in Econometrics at the Department of Economics, Birmingham Business School, University of Birmingham. He joined the Department in September 2001 as a Lecturer in Econometrics and has established himself as a prominent researcher in time series econometrics with particular expertise in structural changes and non-stationary models.
Dr. Barassi received his PhD from Imperial College London and holds an MSc from Birkbeck College. His academic journey reflects a deep commitment to advancing econometric methodologies and their applications in real-world economic problems.
His research focuses on applied time series econometrics with particular emphasis on non-stationary time series models, long memory models, and non-linear models. His work spans diverse application areas including environmental economics (particularly CO2 emissions analysis) and financial economics (including interest rate modeling and market efficiency). This dual focus demonstrates his ability to bridge theoretical econometric advances with pressing real-world economic issues.
An analysis of his recent publications reveals a consistent pattern of sophisticated methodological contributions applied to significant economic questions. His work frequently examines structural breaks, long memory properties, and nonlinear relationships across diverse contexts from energy markets to climate change impacts. The breadth of his research demonstrates how advanced time series techniques can illuminate complex economic phenomena.
Dr. Barassi teaches Econometric Theory at the undergraduate level and offers specialized courses including Econometrics with Financial Applications at the MSc level in Money Banking and Finance and Mathematical Finance programs. His teaching reflects his research expertise, providing students with both theoretical foundations and practical applications of modern econometric techniques.
As Programme Director for the BSc Mathematical Economics and Statistics and BSc Economics with Languages and Economics Joint Honours programs, Dr. Barassi plays a significant role in shaping the academic experience for undergraduate students at Birmingham Business School.
