Overview
Professor James Davidson holds the degrees of BSocSc from the University of Birmingham (1973) and MSc (Econ) from the London School of Economics (1975). Before moving to Exeter in 2004, he held teaching posts at the University of Warwick, the London School of Economics, the University of Wales Aberystwyth and Cardiff University. He has also held visiting positions at the University of California Berkeley, The University of California San Diego, and Central European University, Budapest.

Research
Research interests
- Econometric theory
- Econometric software development
Professor Davidson is interested in all aspects of econometric time series analysis, asymptotic theory, and bootstrap methods in time series. His recent research has been largely concerned with long memory models and fractional integration. His Time Series Modelling (TSM) program is widely used for teaching at Exeter. While developed primarily as a tool for econometrics research, TSM is also used for data analysis by students and practitioners worldwide.
Research projects
Professor Davidson currently holds an ESRC award, with Andreea Halunga, for research into specification testing in non-linear time series models.
