PhD Proposal

Liquidity-aware event windows for macro shocks.

This project re-examines high-frequency identification of monetary policy shocks by replacing fixed event windows with a market mechanics-aware process.

Problem

Fixed event windows assume the market response completes inside a preset clock. Execution frictions and liquidity conditions can stage the response, so the measured shock can be incomplete or noisy.

Liquidity-aware dynamic event window

The window closes when bid-ask spreads and depth normalise towards pre-event baselines and when the initial impulse region is revisited. A Time-to-Delivery metric records the mechanical delivery phase.

Contribution

Aligning the window to observable market mechanics should produce cleaner, more comparable shock series across regimes in rates, equities, and FX.
