BIOGRAPHY

Claudia Moise is a Visiting Scholar in the Finance Department at the New York University, Leonard N. Stern School of Business. Her research focuses on market design, macro finance, financial market regulation, big data, and artificial intelligence. Her work examines the links between financial volatility, flights to safety, and monetary policy; develops real-time measures of market illiquidity arising from frictions associated with slow-moving arbitrage capital; evaluates the impact of financial regulation on market quality and proposes refinements to market design to mitigate unintended consequences; and advances behavioral explanations for asset pricing anomalies.

Claudia has held academic appointments at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Duke University, the University of Maryland, and Case Western Reserve University. She was served as a financial economist in the Division of Economic and Risk Analysis (DERA) at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, where she provided economic analysis supporting major market structure initiatives, including increased transparency for dark pools, broker/dealer order routing and execution disclosures, and the designation of a new listing exchange.  In addition, she served as DERA's delegate to the Limit Up-Limit Down Operating Committee and the Market Quality Subcommittee of the Executive Market Structure Advisory Committee.

Prior to earning her doctorate, Claudia worked in quantitative finance at PGA Funds/CBOT and Deutsche Bank/Zurich Scudder, where she developed models for portfolio allocation and risk assessment. Her earlier professional experience includes roles in quantitative marketing research at Information Resources, as a statistician at Abbott labs, and at the Romanian National Institute of Statistics.

Claudia holds a Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Mathematics from the University of Bucharest, a Master’s degree in Statistics from the University of South Carolina, and an MBA and Doctorate in Finance and Econometrics from the University of Chicago Booth.
