Regis A. Ely

I am a Professor of Economics at the Federal University of Pelotas, where I teach basic statistics and finance to undergraduates, and time series and recursive macroeconomics to graduate students. My main research focus is on the intersection between financial markets and public policy — using applied statistics and econometrics to measure how regulatory interventions affect financial and credit markets.

I have published over 40 articles since 2011 in peer-reviewed journals such as Economic Modelling, Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control, Quantitative Finance, Review of Development Economics, Revista Brasileira de Economia, Brazilian Review of Finance, among others. I have also coordinated and participated in several research projects funded by both public and private sector partners, as well as through competitive grants from research funding agencies. These projects typically translate applied econometric analysis into inputs for institutional decision-making, spanning areas such as fiscal policy evaluation, time series forecasting, and credit market analysis, with intensive use of dashboards, web apps and state of the art technologies.
