Abstract

I review and interpret two of Robert Engle's most important contributions: the theory and application of cointegration, and the theory and application of dynamic volatility models. I treat the latter much more extensively, de-emphasizing technical aspects and focusing instead on the intuition, nuances and importance of the work.
