About us

Business analytics research requires a rigorous approach to model formulation and estimation as well as the skills to analyse the outputs of these models. Our Business Analytics scholars regularly publish in leading international journals.

Particular fields of interest include:

  • big data analytics 
  • applied econometrics
  • electricity markets
  • financial econometrics and quantitative risk forecasting
  • Bayesian methods
  • forecasting, sensitivity analysis
  • micro-econometrics, multivariate statistical methods
  • panel data methods and models
  • scheduling problems
  • statistical machine learning
  • stochastic non-life insurance and actuarial problems
  • supply chains
  • testing and modelling structural change
  • time series and forecasting.

We welcome approaches from potential PhD students with an interest in any of these areas.
