Cristina Amado is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Minho, Portugal, and an international research fellow at CREATES, Aarhus University. She holds a PhD in Economic Statistics from the Stockholm School of Economics with a thesis entitled "Four essays on the econometric modelling of volatility and durations" since 2009. She is also a research member at the Economic Policies Research Centre (NIPE). Her main research interests lie within the fields of time-series analysis, nonlinear modelling and mathematical statistics.
