All of the four are equivalent and correct!
I am working as a Senior Lecturer at Department of Statistics, Uppsala University. I have been doing research and teaching in the field of time series econometrics for quite a few years.
My research is focused on (keywords) smooth transition models, state-space models, macroeconometrics, financial econometrics, high-dimensional analysis, cointegration, long memory, panel data analysis, directional statistics, Bayesian, MCMC and related computational methods.
