Working Papers
"Equity Market Information Windows and Intraday Cryptocurrency Trading in Korea" (solo-authored, under review)
Trading volumes and return volatilities of Bitcoin and Ethereum show spikes when the US and Korean stock markets open. I empirically test the pattern and propose a market microstructure model to explain this phenomenon.

"Overreaction or Mechanical Bias? The Impact of Variable Construction on Tests of Expectation Formation" (with Hayeon Park, under review)
Testing whether the forecasts are over-/under-reacting to the new information developed by Coibion and Gorodnichenko (2015) is widely used in the behavioral finance literature, and it might be misinterpreted simply because the variable is constructed wrongly.
"The Unintended Consequences of Value-weighting" (solo-authored)
Return factors are computed by aggregating the individual stocks through value-weighting, which composes more of large stocks. Consequently, factor returns and anomalies might actually be mostly of idiosyncratic shocks of large stocks.
