Prof. Giannopoulos has published widely in international journals and presented his work at academic and professional conferences on both sides of the Atlantic. His empirical work on volatility and VaR analysis has attracted major interest from both practitioners and banking regulators. Most notable is the Filtered Historical Simulation model. This semi parametric model explores efficiently the nonlinear historical dynamics to generate multi period joint predictions for a large scale of assets. The applicability of this forecasting model has been extended in areas such as risk modelling, option pricing and asset allocation.
