Academic Research Experience
“An order invariant measure of price discovery and application to exchange-traded funds” - Co-authored
with Dr. Eric Zivot, June 2012-Current
 Proposed a new statistical method to measure the process of price discovery (a process by which
new information in the market is incorporated into different asset prices) and proposed statistical
solutions to the limitations inherent in the previous measure of price discovery.
 Applied the new method into the market of Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). Critically analyzed
the effect of a new financial market trend called “duplication of ETFs” or the existence of multiple
ETFs in the market which track the same index.
 Wrote codes in “R” programming language to analyze high-frequency intra-day stock price data.
“Analysis of Cross-section Volatility and Expected Asset Returns from Jump Risk Perspective” - CoAuthored with Dr. Jonathan Brogaard
 Utilized an existing method to isolate the jump risks of the stock returns from their diffusion risks.
Used the measure of jump risks of stock returns to explain the puzzling positive relation between
cross sectional expected future asset return and their idiosyncratic risks.
“Application of Regime-Switching Model to US Public Debt Growth and Fiscal Policy Sustainability”
 Applied Regime Switching model to US federal debt growth rate data to investigate under which
range of interest rate the current fiscal policy is sustainable.
