Overview

Ian has worked in the City of London as an international banker and financial market economist, for the IMF, and in academia. He has been at Bayes since 1998 but was on leave of absence at the Bank of England between June 2001 and September 2003 where he managed a research team focusing on capital market issues. His research interests are credit risk transfer markets and the market for foreign exchange.

Research

My recent research has been in three main areas:

1. Macroeconomic exchange rate modelling.
Macroeconomic theory cannot explain well the month-to-month behaviour of major exchange rates. However, it does better in explaining long term equilibria (Marsh, Passari and Sarno, 2012) and in predicting crises and regime change (Hallwood, MacDonald and Marsh, 2010 and 2012).

2. Microstructure of FX and equity markets.
While macroeconomic variables have limited success in explaining exchange rate movements, microeconomic variables, especially the order flow of informed customers, can explain and even predict prices. I have extended our understanding of this through work with two PhD students. First, we take this approach to emerging markets with the first analysis of African exchange rate markets (Duffuor, Marsh and Phylaktis, 2012) and show that the same relationships hold even in under-developed FX markets. In Marsh and Miao (2012) we show that orders in FX markets are relevant also for equity valuation, and are therefore likely to contain fundamental information rather than being transient and liquidity-related.

Market design, regulations and policy decisions impact the effectiveness of financial markets. My work has investigated how two major regulation/policy changes affected markets. The imposition of bans on short-selling financial stocks in the UK at the height of the recent crisis impaired efficiency with no noticeable gains (March and Payne, 2012). This paper won considerable attention in the press including coverage in FT and several EU financial newspapers, and in the practitioner community (it was awarded the Inquire prize for research). Second, intervention by Japanese authorities, while of only limited use in stemming the yen's appreciation, did disrupt the workings of the FX market sufficiently to break down the usual relationship between end-user transactions in the market and spot prices.

3. Credit derivatives markets.
In ongoing research with Wagner of Tilburg University, I examine the operation of the credit default swap market. We show that the price at which this market allows default risk to be insured follows a pattern also observed in goods (especially gasoline) markets - namely, prices rise rapidly on bad news yet only fall slowly on good news. We expalin this as the reaction of profit maximising but less the fully competitive intermediaries who can exploit uninformed couterparties and extract a higher than warranted price following good news.

Research topics

Foreign exchange market microstructure

Analysis of the roles played by customer and interbank order flows in the determination of foreign exchange rates.

Credit risk markets

How are prices in credit derivatives market set? My research suggests they lead prices in other credit markets but lag prices in equities. This lag is only manifest following good economic news, however, and is suggested of market inefficiencies related to imperfect competition.

Computer-based trading in equity markets

Electronic trading is now dominant in financial markets. I investigate how the impact of such computer-based trading varies in the cross-section of UK stocks and show how this relates to the effectiveness of price determination in equity markets.
