معرفی
Patrick Gagliardini is a Full Professor of Econometrics at the University of Lugano (USI) within the Faculty of Economics and the Institute of Finance. He also serves as Pro-Rector at USI. His academic journey includes a PhD in Econometrics from USI (2003) and studies in Physics at ETH Zurich (1998). He has held roles such as Visiting Fellow at CREST Paris (2003) and Assistant Professor at the University of St. Gallen (2004–2006).
His research focuses on econometric methods (nonparametric techniques, GMM, latent factor models) and financial applications such as credit risk, asset pricing, and risk management. Competence areas include Big Data, investment decisions, and systematic risk analysis. He teaches courses in econometrics, financial econometrics, and time series at the undergraduate, graduate, and PhD levels.
Recent publications explore latent factor models, econometric testing (e.g., eigenvalue tests for factor detection), and financial decision-making in small data regimes. His work bridges theoretical econometrics with practical applications in finance and risk modeling.
Notably, his research addresses challenges in dynamic latent factor models, hedge fund performance evaluation, and granularity theory in financial systems. He maintains an active academic profile with contributions to both theoretical and applied econometrics.
