Leopoldo Catania
Leopoldo Catania is Associate Professor at Aarhus University and CREATES.
Leopoldo’s research interests focus on Financial Econometrics and Time Series Analysis. His works concern the development and estimation of univariate and multivariate econometrics models applied to quantitative risk management, density predictions of financial returns, time-varying dependence, and volatility.
