ProfessorJoakim Westerlund

Joakim Westerlund is a Professor and Chair in the Department of Economics in Deakin Business School. Joakim's primary research interest is the analysis of panel data. Joakim has been focusing on the case when both the number of time periods, T and the number cross-sectional units, N, are large but have also considered panels where N or T are small and only one of the indices are required to be large. To a lesser extent, he has considered data that are either time series or cross-sectional. Joakim has mainly been concerned with the development of procedures for estimation and testing of non-stationary panel data, but more recently his interest has shifted towards the development of econometric tools for factor-augmented regression models.
