He also contributed in the field of volatility measuring in the presence of microstructure noise, jump detection, correlation measuring and modelling, derivative pricing, nonlinear dynamic modelling of asset price bubble and crashes, time varying parameters with score-driven models and structural VAR identification. He published on international journals as Journal of Financial Economics, Journal of Econometrics, Journal of Applied Econometrics, Journal of Business and Economic Statistics, Journal of Financial Econometrics, Operations Research, PNAS.
