Eric Ghysels is a Belgian economist with particular interest in finance and time series econometrics and currently the Edward M. Bernstein Distinguished Professor of Economics at the University of North Carolina and a Professor of Finance at the Kenan-Flagler Business School . He received his Ph.D. from Kellogg Graduate School of Management.
Biography
Ghysels was born in Brussels, Belgium, as the son of Pierre Ghysels (a civil servant) and Anna Janssens (a homemaker). He completed his undergraduate studies in economics (Supra Cum Laude) at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel in 1979. He obtained a Fulbright Fellowship from the Hoover Foundation, Belgian American Educational Foundation in 1980, and finished his PhD at the Kellogg Graduate School of Management of Northwestern University in 1984.
He is a Fellow of the American Statistical Association and co-editor of the Journal of Financial Econometrics.
The Society for Financial Econometrics (SoFiE) was co-founded by Robert Engle and Eric Ghysels.
In 2008-2009 he was Resident Scholar at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and has since been a regular visitor of the bank as well as several other central bank institutions around the world working mostly on topics pertaining to Mixed data sampling regression models and filtering methods.
He is also a Research Fellow, CIRANO, Montreal, Extramural Fellow, CentER., Tilburg University, Research Affiliate, The Volatility Institute at New York University Stern School of Business and in 2011 Fernand Braudel Senior Fellow, European University Institute, Florence, Italy.
Research
His most recent research focuses on Mixed data sampling regression models and filtering methods with applications in finance and other fields. He has also worked on diverse topics such as seasonality in economic times series, Generalized Method of Moment estimation and testing of asset pricing models, time varying betas, estimation of risk neutral and objective probability measures for the purpose of option pricing, among many other topics.
He has published several books, including a monograph with Denise Osborn (University of Manchester) on the Econometric Analysis of Seasonal Time Series. His recent work includes regression models and filtering using data sampled at different frequencies.
