Half-baked: LSE Project Proposals

These past two months I’ve found out exactly how hard it is to write a project proposal in Math and Stats. My ideas focused on detection schemes similar to my thesis, but had elements of market microstructure. I hope you take a look!

LSE Statistics Proposal:

It’s about detecting adverse selection events, and learning about how the order book changes when a private signal makes it to informed traders.

LSE Mathematics Proposal:

It’s about also detecting adverse selection events, but emphasizing the use of queuing theory, learning the mathematics behind the thresholds and constraints faced by investors when they cause these changes.
