Luca Barbaglia, PhD

I am an econometrician passionate about data science and economics. I exploit alternative, unstructured and big data for economic forecasting using time series and machine learning. I work with macroeconomic and natural resource data to provide better predictions and policy support.

I am part of the Competence Centre on Microeconomic Evaluation (CC-ME) at the European Commission - Joint Research Centre (JRC). Previously, I was part of the Nowcasting team.

My main interests are time series econometrics, commodity markets, big data, machine learning and nowcasting/forecasting.My works have been published in the Journal of Business & Economic Statistics, Journal of Applied Econometrics, and Journal of Financial Econometrics, among others.
