| Research Interests
|
Dr Barbopoulos' main research interests lie primarily in the fields of
Applied Time Series Econometrics, Asset Pricing, and Foreign Direct
Investment (FDI). Research in the field of Applied Time Series Econometrics
concentrates on the limited distribution theory for stationary and
non-stationary time series, particularly in cases of single or serial
time-breaks in the innovation variance. Research in the field of FDI
focuses primarily on the effects of dynamic structure of macroeconomic
variables on the performance and direction of FDI. Other research
interests concentrate on the theory of value ambiguity and asset pricing.
