Welcome!
I am Ekaterina, a Ph.D. candidate in Econometrics in the Quantitative Economics Section at the University of Amsterdam and the Tinbergen Institute. My supervisors are Prof. Dr. H. Peter Boswijk, Dr. Sander Barendse and Dr. Paolo Gorgi.
My research explores how to improve multi-period volatility forecasts from potentially misspecified models, which is particularly relevant in contexts where institutional constraints hinder model changes. Additionally, I study how to model tail risks using volatility and quantile regression models, as accurate assessments of these risks are essential for financial and economic stability.
