Waraporn (Wara) Tongprasit

I have a Master's in Computer Science from Department of Computer Science and a PhD in Operations Reseach from Department of Management Science and Engineering, Stanford University. In general, I am interested in machine learning and operations research, i.e. optimization and stochastic process, and their applications in finance and economics area. My particular research interest is in information and financial market. My disseration was focusing on the role of security exchanges in aggregating information and allocating resources in an economic system, and how regulations influence their effectiveness. My specialties include multi-horizon strategies in equities markets, options trading, financial market microstructure, operations research, intraday volatility modeling, intraday price movement prediction, algorithmic trading, machine readable news feed, econometrics, machine learning.

Working Papers

  • " Empirical Analysis of Tick Sizes and Exchange Efficiency.", Waraporn Tongprasit, Benjamin Van Roy
    Developed a method for assessing and comparing stock exchange efficiency under different tick sizes.
  • " Predicting the Impact of Regulatory and Design Decisions on Exchange Efficiency.", Waraporn Tongprasit, Benjamin Van Roy
    Developed a method that uses historical data and simulations to predict stock exchange efficiency under new securities exchange regulations and market designs where data from the exchange is not yet available.
  • " Order Book Shape and Stock Price Movements.", Waraporn Tongprasit
    Formulated a mathematical model for predicting short-term stock price movements from the shape of order book.
