I study how market rules, information, and liquidity constraints shape prices in modern electronic markets,
with a focus on queues, adverse selection, funding fragility, and market design.
Current work in financial economics, with emphasis on asset pricing,
market microstructure, funding liquidity, and market design.
Featured Working Papers
The Spoofing Wedge
Market microstructure and market design | Working paper, 2026
Develops a structural theory of deceptive liquidity in electronic limit order markets.
Cancellation is an action; spoofing is a source of value. The paper separates bona fide
execution value from induced response value and studies when public order-book patterns
can and cannot identify manipulation.
Market microstructure theory | Working paper, 2026
Shows that FIFO queue priority allocates adverse-selection exposure, not only execution
speed. One-rank priority is a claim on a marginal execution state; toxic front priority can
survive through entry, reposting frictions, and cancellation constraints.
Asset pricing and funding liquidity | Working paper, 2026
Studies how public order-flow inference can change continuation margin after the current
mark has settled, linking price discovery, funding fragility, forced deleveraging, and market
depth.
Informed Entry, Price Impact, and Short-Horizon Return Predictability
Asset pricing and market microstructure | Working paper, 2026
Derives a closed-form sign condition for adjacent return covariance. Momentum appears only
at intermediate informed participation; free entry maps information costs into continuation
and reversal regimes.
Market design and limit order books | Working paper, 2026
Studies price improvement in a price-time-priority limit order book. Improving one tick buys
non-front access, but it can also transfer signed front-priority exposure; under sniping-dominated
front states, no-undercutting can survive as tick size goes to zero.
The Exact Obstruction to Jamshidian's Decomposition in Multifactor Affine Models
Interest-rate theory and derivatives | Working paper, 2026
Characterizes exactly when deterministic-strike Jamshidian decomposition survives in multifactor
affine term-structure models, and develops a projected one-factor approximation when bond-loading
vectors are only approximately collinear.
Binding-Set Stability for Quadratic Option Market-Making Approximations
Option market-making | Technical note, 2026
A short theory note on the constrained implementation layer of quadratic option
market-making approximations, with a book-level binding-set stability theorem and an
observable margin diagnostic for upper-cap decisions.
