Otilia Boldea

Otilia Boldea is Associate Professor in Econometrics at Tilburg University. Her research develops methods for change point modeling in time series and panel data, with applications to macroeconomics and epidemiology.

Research interests:

• Structural break detection in econometric models
• Time-varying parameter models
• Bootstrap methods for inference
• Epidemiological modeling of COVID-19
• Panel data with unobserved heterogeneity

Recent work models SARS-CoV-2 transmission dynamics and evaluates policy interventions during the pandemic. She develops computationally efficient methods for change point estimation with time-varying individual effects.
