Cristina Amado
PhD Economic Statistics (Stockholm School of Economics)
Cristina Amado is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Minho, Portugal, and an integrated member at NIPE (Centre for Research in Economics and Management). She holds a PhD in Economic Statistics from the Stockholm School of Economics with a thesis entitled "Four essays on the econometric modelling of volatility and durations" since 2009 under the supervision of Professor Timo Teräsvirta. Her main research interests lie within the fields of time-series analysis, nonlinear modelling and financial econometrics.
