Research keywords: Empirical Finance, Financial Econometrics, and Empirical Market Microstructure

Marcelo has currently two lines of research. The first deals with the theory and application of nonparametric methods to high-frequency financial data. In particular, he has been working on a nonparametric framework for the analysis of volatility and jump spillovers as well as for identifying mispricings in the financial markets. Marcelo's second line of research aims to assess performance and risk-taking behaviour in the hedge fund industry.
