Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam
and a research fellow at
Tinbergen Institute.
He is a
Founding Fellow of the
International Association for Applied Econometrics,
Journal of Applied Econometrics
Distinguished Author, and
Fellow
of the
Society of Financial Econometrics
(SoFiE).
He was the
2019-2020 Laureate of the
Francqui Chair, at
Faculty of Business and Economics,
University of Antwerp,
in 2020-21.
Also, he was a
long-term Visiting Professor

He further held positions at
London School of Economics and
CentER (Tilburg University), and
had long-term visits at
US Bureau of the Census,
European University Institute,
and
European Central Bank, Financial Research.
The monograph
Time Series Analysis by State Space Methods
is written by J. Durbin and SJK. The book originally appeared in 2001, the current
Second Edition in 2012.
The book
An Introduction to State Space Time Series Analysis
appeared in 2007 and is written by J.J.F. Commandeur and SJK.
His other books (co-authored, software and editorial) are listed
here.
The main research interest of SJK is developing statistical methodology for time series
analysis, modelling and prediction, with particular focus on
state space models, Kalman filter methods and score-driven models,
and with applications in fields such as economics, climate, energy, finance, crime and sports.
He fullfills editorial duties at
Journal of Forecasting.
Finally, SJK is an
OxMetrics
software developer for
STAMP
and
SsfPack.
