Genaro Sucarrat
Associate Professor - Department of Economics
Biography
Genaro Sucarrat is tenured associate professor of econometrics at the department of economics. He studied economics and politics (Cand.Mag. in economics, politics and philosopy at the University of Oslo, MA in international political economy at the University of Warwick) before obtaining an MA and a PhD in Economics at Universite Catolique de Louvain. After his doctoral studies, he worked a total of four years as a Marie Curie individual fellow and visiting professor in economics at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, before joining BI Norwegian Business School. In addition, he has spent several research visits at other institutions, including University of Cambridge, University of Oxford, CREST (Paris), Universite de Lille, and Pontificia universidad catolica de Chile.
Sucarrat's research has been published in international peer-reviewed journals like Journal of Financial Econometrics, Journal of Multivariate Analysis, Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, International Journal of Forecasting, Computational Statistics and Data Analysis, Journal of Economic Methodology, and Journal of Statistical Software. He has also developed three R packages (statistical software), available via the Comprehensive R-Archive Network (CRAN) and downloaded a total of ca. 100 000 times from the 0-cloud server of RStudio. Since 2010 he has been responsible for a forecasting prize ("Prognoseprisen") of the Norwegian Association of Economists, which is awarded every year to the best forecaster of the Norwegian economy.
