Professor Ibragimov’s current research interests include modelling crises and contagion in financial and economic markets and the analysis of their effects on properties of key models in economics and finance; development of robust econometric and statistical inference methods and their applications in financial econometrics, among others. The results obtained by Rustam Ibragimov and his co-authors in these and other fields appeared in such leading publications in finance, economics, econometrics, statistics and probability as the Journal of Financial Economics, the Review of Financial Studies, Management Science, the Journal of Business and Economic Statistics, the Review of Economics and Statistics, the Journal of Econometrics, Econometric Theory, the Annals of Probability, the Journal of Banking and Finance, the Journal of Risk and Insurance, and, upon their invitation, the New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics Online and the International Encyclopedia of Statistical Sciences. Professor Ibragimov is a co-author, with Marat Ibragimov (Kazan – Volga Region Federal University) and Johan Walden (Haas School of Business, the University of California at Berkeley), of the monograph on ‘Heavy-Tailed Distributions and Robustness in Economics and Finance’ that appeared in the Springer’s Lecture Notes in Statistics Series. He is also a co-author, with Artem Prokhorov (the University of Sydney Business) of the book on ‘Heavy Tails and Copulas: Topics in Dependence Modelling in Economics and Finance’ recently published by the World Scientific and, with Iosif Pinelis, Victor de la Peña, Adam Osȩkowski and Irina Shevtsova, of the monograph 'Inequalities and Extremal Problems in Probability and Statistics: Selected Topics' published by the Academic Press.
