Projects

Questions about markets, explored through data and simulation. Each project includes the methods, the results, and the limits of what they tell us.

01 / Empirical research

An equity-factor research engine that asks which signals survive careful testing. Explore predictive evidence, out-of-sample behavior, multiple-testing corrections, and the effect of trading costs.

  • CRSP daily data
  • 20 signals
  • 60 hypotheses

  • Paired Monte Carlo experiments
  • 3 quoting strategies
  • Fully synthetic market
