Andriy Sirchenko is an Assistant Professor of Econometrics at Nyenrode Business University. He is a member of Nyenrode's Faculty Research Center for Marketing & Supply Chain Management. Before joining Nyenrode, he worked at Maastricht University, University of Amsterdam and Higher School of Economics in Moscow. His main areas of expertise are Econometrics (methodology and applications) and Applied Statistics.
Sirchenko’s research focuses on computational methods, finite mixture, hierarchical, discrete-choice, regime-switching, zero-inflated, instrumental-variable, and dynamic time-series models. He has published in journals such as Journal of Economic Dynamics & Control, Stata Journal, Studies in Nonlinear Dynamics & Econometrics, and Methodology & Computing in Applied Probability.
Sirchenko has substantial supervising
experience (72 theses), successful fund-raising records (eight research and
teaching grants from external organizations), statistical software development
experience (five software packages in Stata and R), entrepreneurial and
business experience (he has founded and run companies in Russia and Kyrgyzstan),
business consulting experience (demand forecasting in a retail setting,
customer analytics and program evaluation), and military experience (USSR
Navy).
Sirchenko has a multicultural teaching
experience at both undergraduate and graduate levels at nine countries. He has taught
24 courses in Econometrics, Statistics, Game Theory, Microeconomics, Business
Analytics, Data Analytics and Mathematics, developed and coordinated seven
courses at Kyiv School of Economics in Ukraine and Higher School of Economics
in Moscow, and coordinated three courses at the University of Amsterdam.
Sirchenko received a BSc in Applied
Physics and Mathematics and an MSc in Biophysics from Moscow Institute of
Physics & Technology, an MA in Economics from the University of Iowa, and
obtained his PhD in Economics at the European University Institute in Florence.
His dissertation was titled “A
discrete-choice econometrician’s tale of
monetary policy identification and predictability”.
