Applied and Theoretical Econometrics and Financial Crises explores the intersection of econometric methods and the dynamics of financial crises. This volume combines rigorous theoretical approaches with real-world applications to examine how econometric models can be used to analyze, predict, and understand the causes and consequences of financial instability. It addresses issues such as structural breaks, non-linear modeling, and volatility dynamics, providing tools to interpret complex financial data and inform strategic decision-making in times of market volatility. This book is ideal for graduate students, researchers in economics and finance, and policy analysts at nonprofit organizations and government agencies, offering insights into model specification, structural breaks, volatility modelling, and crisis forecasting in both historical and contemporary contexts.
