My research utilizes sophisticated econometric models to examine some specific financial and monetary relationships. The focus of my analysis is the examination of the effects of macroeconomic and financial uncertainty/volatility and conditional correlation on the returns of stock markets, economic growth, inflation and the allocation of assets between domestic and foreign denominated currencies. Furthermore, my research examines how various stylized facts of stock returns (such as the illiquidity, skewness, persistence in volatility/correlation etc.) affect their performance and relation to other variables. A part of my research examines the relative efficiency among various companies and how the structure of a company affects its performance. Finally, some econometric tools of my research are used in other disciplines and areas of interests such as the effects of various policies in real economy
