Aims and Scope

Studies in Nonlinear Dynamics & Econometrics (SNDE) recognizes that advances in statistics and dynamical systems theory can increase our understanding of economic and financial markets.

The journal seeks both theoretical and applied papers that characterize and motivate nonlinear phenomena. Researchers are required to assist replication of empirical results by providing copies of data and programs online. Algorithms and rapid communications are also published.


Special issue

We are inviting submissions for a special issue of the Journal Studies in Nonlinear Dynamics and Econometrics in BAYESIAN INFERENCE, honoring the contributions of Herman K. van Dijk to the field of Bayesian econometrics/statistics, spanning almost 50 years. For more details, see here
