I am Professor Catalina Garc\u00eda Garc\u00eda at the University of Granada, and my scientific contributions have primarily focused on the development of bounded distributions and their application in the financial and actuarial fields. My research journey began with my doctoral thesis, where I introduced a new bounded distribution, and since then, I have had the opportunity to collaborate internationally through research stays at George Washington University and the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru.<\/p>\n
As my research evolved, I shifted my focus towards econometrics, specifically the analysis of collinearity, and I have since published several articles in high-impact journals. One of my most notable publications appeared in The American Statistician, which is ranked in the top 1 out of 125 journals in the field of \u00abStatistics and Probability\u00bb (JCR indexed). I\u2019ve had the privilege of presenting my work at international conferences, including a stay at Mary Immaculate College in Limerick, Ireland, in September 2022.<\/p>\n
Since August 2022 (until february 2025), I have been leading the Junta de Andaluc\u00eda research group \u00abQuantitative Techniques for Economics and Business Administration\u00bb (SEJ-534<\/a>), and I co-directed the FEDER project A-SEJ-496-UGR, which addressed new approaches to diagnosing and treating multicollinearity. I am also involved in academic leadership roles, including mentoring graduate students, serving on review committees for scientific journals, and participating in the editorial committee of Estudios de Econom\u00eda Aplicada.<\/p>\n In addition to my academic responsibilities, I\u2019ve had the opportunity to collaborate with industry through knowledge transfer contracts with the University of Almer\u00eda and the University of Granada, and I have acted as an expert appraiser for various courts in Andalusia. I have codirected several doctoral theses in the areas of bounded distributions and multicollinearity treatment, all of which have been recognized with outstanding cum laudem distinctions.\u00a0 My work has been recognized in the academic community, with three six-year periods of positive evaluation by the Advisory Committee of the CNEAI, reflecting my ongoing commitment to advancing scientific knowledge.<\/p>\n On a personal level, I am the proud mother of two fantastic daughters. I am committed to the Sahrawi cause<\/a> and actively support it as member of the \u00abAsociaci\u00f3n de Amigos del Sahara de Almer\u00eda<\/a>). I am also a patron of the Fundaci\u00f3n Mart\u00edn Garc\u00eda Ramos<\/a>, which is dedicated to preserving and promoting the poetic legacy of my grandfather. In my free time, I enjoy traveling and reading\u2014two passions that continually inspire and enrich both my personal and professional life.<\/p>\n Contact:<\/strong><\/p>\n cbgarcia@ugr.es<\/strong><\/p>\n Office C-110.
