Gilles Dufrénot is a Professor of Economics at Aix-Marseille School of Economics in France. His main fields of interest are applied econometrics in macroeconomics and finance. He has published in international journals including the Journal of Economic dynamics and Control, Macroeconomic Dynamics, Journal of International Money and finance, Oxford Economic Papers. He has been a guest editor for several journals on issues related to nonlinear dynamics, macroeconometrics and computational economics. Takeshi Matsuki is a Professor of Econometrics and Statistics at the University of Osaka-Gakuin in Japan. He specializes in forecasting methods, nonlinear systems and nonstationary panels in economics and finance. He has proposed new techniques for investigating international spillovers in international markets, channeling quantitative easing policies and identifying structural breaks in economic time series.
