Biography

Rodney Strachan received his PhD from Monash University in 2000. His research focuses on Bayesian analysis, econometric theory, time series analysis, inference in time varying parameter and time varying dimension models, identification in reduced rank models and computational methods. Previously, he held positions at the University of Queensland, University of Leicester and the University of Liverpool.
