Department of Econometrics focuses on understanding and modelling important economic and financial problems like decision making of agents, asset pricing, understating interaction between agents, or recently understanding the economic impacts of pandemics. We offer solutions to these problems with the help of mathematical models as well as statistical methodologies. More recently, we utilize modern machine learning methods for decision-making problems and analyze high-dimensional data sets (big data). We particularly focus on understanding economic and financial problems, focusing on estimation of real-world data.

In our department, we cover topics such as Machine Learning/Statistical Learning, Dynamic networks and financial decision making, Dynamic quantile asset pricing models, Measurement of dependence between cyclical economic variables, High-frequency data analysis, Agent based models, Stochastic optimization and Macroeconomics.

Organized conferences and workshops:

  • STAT of ML 2023, 2022,2021,2020, 2019, Prague. Economterics Department in cooperation with Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University in Prague organized a STAT of ML (Statistics of Machine Learning) conference held October 5-6, 2023.  
  • Haindorf workshop 2022, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016. The series of joint workshops with Humboldt University organized in January are focused on networking activities of research groups of prof. Barunik and prof.Hardle and training PhD students in statistical techniques. We have enjoyed hosting several respected scholars who joined the workshops including Victor Chernozhukov (MIT), Oliver Linton (Cambridge), Bryan Graham (UC Berkeley), Qiwei Yao (LSE), Holger Dette (Bochum) and many visiting international scholars.
  • 2015 – 2020 Research Seminar Series – Jointly with Institute of Economic Studies we organize occasional small workshops for PhD students with invited international speakers, i.e. Eddie Gerba (LSE), Mattia Bevilaqua (LSE), Todorova (Bocconi).

Duration: 2020 - 2022
The project addresses the disconnection issue of the current financial and economic agent-based research. A complex agent-based economic model with an integrated financial sector will be suggested and a focus will be devoted to its econometric estimation. This interconnection will allow an overall study of the economic system under realistic assumptions about the behavior of economic agents.
Duration: 2020 - 2022
The project focuses on analysis of specific aspects of cryptoassets (cryptocurrencies), specifically on three main branches of research. First, we study the cryptoassets pricing mechanisms, mainly with respect to their fundamental factors such as number of users, number of transactions, traded volume, and others.
Duration: 2019 - 2023
The recent availability of large digital finance datasets brings new challenges to quantitative finance. Many of the classical financial econometric or optimization models become inappropriate or intractable when applied to digital finance data.
Duration: 2019 - 2021
The goal of this Project is to study arbitrage opportunities on limit order markets with boundedly rational agents.
Duration: 2018 - 2020
Multi-objective stochastic programming problems correspond to economic situations in which economic process is simultaneously influenced by a random environment and a decision parameter selected with respect to multi-objective optimization problem depending on the probability measure.
Duration: 2017 - 2019
The project focuses on utilization of multifractal framework in finance and financial economics. Specifically, we focus on three main branches of research. First, we examine how occurrence of financial extreme events translates into multifractal properties of the time series. For this purpose, we utilize the cusp catastrophe theory and the log-periodic power-law model.
