Michael P Clements is Professor of Econometrics at the ICMA Centre, Henley Business School, University of Reading. He obtained a DPhil in Econometrics from Nuffield College, University of Oxford in 1993, moved to Warwick University Economics Department as a Research Fellow in 1995, and became a full professor in 2007. He moved to Reading in 2013.

Mike’s interests are in the areas of time-series econometrics and forecasting, and he has published widely in academic journals on forecast evaluation, mixed-frequency data modelling, non-linear modelling and business cycle analysis, real-time modelling and forecasting, factor model forecasting, and the analysis of survey expectations. He has (co-)authored 5 books and over 100 papers in journals and chapters in books.

Mike became a Journal of Applied Econometrics Distinguished Author in 2008.

He served as an editor of the International Journal of Forecasting between 2001 and 2012, and since standing down from this role has served as an associate editor.

He was elected an Honorary Fellow of the International Institute of Forecasters in 2014: http://forecasters.org/activities/funding-awards/fellows/.

He became series editor of the Palgrave Texts in Econometrics and Palgrave Advanced Texts in Econometrics in 2017.

He was elected a Fellow of the International Association for Applied Econometrics in 2018.

He became a member of the Editorial Advisory Board for the National Institute Economic Review in 2021.

All of Mike’s publications are available at http://ideas.repec.org/e/pcl24.html and some recent Discussion Papers at http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/cf_dev/AbsByAuth.cfm?per_id=157383.
