Omid M. Ardakani

I am a Professor of Economics and Faculty Fellow for Research at the Parker College of Business, Georgia Southern University. My research develops econometric methods for extreme events, built on information theory, extreme value theory, and Bayesian statistics, with applications in computational finance and monetary economics.

I serve as co-editor of the Economics Journal and section editor of the Financial Statistical Journal, and sit on the editorial boards of International Finance and Banking and the Journal of Information Economics. I am a recipient of the Solomons Economic Research Fellowship and the Gary M. Davis Excellence in Business Research Award.

I teach undergraduate and graduate courses in econometrics, forecasting, macroeconomics, and finance. For further details, see my curriculum vitae.
