Found in: beBee jobs US - 2 weeks ago


Washington, Washington, D.C., United States Non-Departmental Agency Full time
Summary

The Office of the Chief Economist (OCE) conducts research on major policy issues facing the Commission; assesses the economic impact of regulatory changes on derivatives & related commodities & financial markets; participates in the development of Commission rulemakings, partners with CFTC Offices/Divisions to provide quantitative & economic analysis for the CFTC, conducts special studies & evaluations and produces public-facing research targeting both the general public & academic audiences.

Duties

As a Research Economist your duties will include the following:

Providing rigorous economic analyses related to derivatives (futures and swaps) markets.

Evaluating market structure and trading practices in the futures, options and swaps markets for their impacts on price discovery, liquidity, and risk.

These responsibilities will contribute to the Commission's policy development and enforcement proceedings.

This includes conducting research on topics within the scope of the Commission's policy agenda that can be expected to maintain and enhance the Commission's standing among its peer agencies.

In addition, research will serve to inform and educate the general public about markets the Commission regulates through white papers and peer-reviewed research publications.


Among the prospective topics of study are:

  • systemic risk issues related to derivatives, including theoretical and empirical analyses of margin, clearing, liquidity, optimal levels of transparency, and market design;
  • econometric analysis of derivatives data (exchange-traded and over-the-counter);
  • theoretical and econometric analysis of high frequency data, including order book and message data;
  • models of trading activity, intermediation, and market microstructure, including network analyses of derivatives markets;
  • economic and empirical analysis of regulations on markets.


Post Dodd-Frank, the regulatory data available to the Commission includes over-the-counter swap transactions and positions from over 100 registered swap dealers.

This rich data augments the traditional message, transaction, and position data for listed futures markets received by the Commission.

This data and other data sets will be analyzed in order to provide advice and guidance to the Chief Economist and the Commission.

As such, the incumbent is expected to have technical knowledge in (1) econometric analyses of high frequency data, (2) leading edge models of financial market behavior, and (3) experience with large, complex data sets.

Experience analyzing unstructured data, coupled with a deep interest in the institutional practices associated with the data, would be beneficial.
