Price Formation, Information and Equilibrium
Research.
Anveṣaṇaअन्वेषण
I study how information shapes prices, liquidity, and trading decisions. My research brings economic theory into conversation with high-frequency market data, focusing on how market rules and participants’ beliefs shape financial outcomes.

Public Inference and Funding Fragility
2026Public order flow does not just move price; it resets continuation margin. Links adverse signed flow, price discovery, funding liquidity, depth withdrawal, and forced deleveraging.

Where Manipulation Hides
2026Distinguishes rational cancellation from deceptive intent and derives the benefits—and limits—of using profit-source evidence in enforcement.

Queue Priority as Adverse-Selection Exposure
2026Reframes FIFO priority in limit order books as state-contingent adverse-selection exposure, linking marginal fill toxicity, cancellation, hidden effective rank, and Kyle / Back information states.
Prices at Three Speeds

Prices at Three Speeds
2026Derives a restriction on price adjustment: a two-rate benchmark permits at most one change in the sign of return covariance. Trend-following pressure adds a third rate. Evidence from Indian equities traces the horizon curve from one day to three years.

The Exact Obstruction to Jamshidian's Decomposition in Multifactor Affine Models
2026Characterizes exactly when Jamshidian's decomposition survives in multifactor exponential-affine models: bond loadings must lie on a common positive ray. Near that boundary, projected one-factor strikes yield an upper bound with explicit error control.
