Biography
Ana Beatriz Galvão is Professor of Economic Modelling and Forecasting at Warwick Business School, University of Warwick. She joined Warwick in 2013 from the School of Economics and Finance of Queen Mary, University of London.
She was the principal investigator of an ESRC-funded research project on "Economic Forecasting under Macroeconomic Uncertainty" over the 2013-2015 period. Since April 2017, she is working on a ONS-funded project on "Measuring and Communicating Data Uncertainty".
She is currently Associate Editor of the International Journal of Forecasting and the Economic Modelling, and it is part of the team behind the Warwick Business School Forecasting System. Her teaching includes a novel postgraduate course in economics and business forecasting with emphasis on their usefulness for decision-making under uncertainty. She was able to place her past PhD students in tenure-track jobs in academia and in policy institutions research positions.
