Tim Bollerslev

Tim Bollerslev joined the Duke Faculty in the Fall, 1998, as the first Juanita and Clifton Kreps Professor of Economics. He also holds an appointment as Professor of Finance at the Fuqua School of Business. He received his Ph.D. from UCSD, and has held positions in the Economics Department and Kellogg Graduate School of Management at Northwestern University, and at the University of Virginia. He is an elected fellow of the Econometric Society, and has been affiliated with the National Bureau of Economic Research as a Faculty Research Associate since 1991.

An internationally known time series econometrician, Prof. Bollerslev is especially well recognized for his expertise in financial econometrics and empirical finance. His ideas for measuring and forecasting financial market volatility are used routinely by economists and finance practitioners throughout the world. In the press release accompanying the 2003 Nobel Prize in Economics, his GARCH (generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity) model is explicitly cited as "the model most often applied today."

Prof. Bollerslev has written numerous articles for prominent academic journals. His current research involving the use of high-frequency financial data for better measuring and modeling volatility is supported by the National Science Foundation. He routinely lectures at other universities and research institutions around the world. He has served on the editorial boards for numerous academic journals and is presently co-editor for the Journal of Applied Econometrics.
