Predicting Stock Prices Using Technical Analysis (R Programming) - Finance Aug 2020 - Present Determinants of hedging and its effects on investment for a corporate firm Trading in India - Finance Jan 2020 - May 2020 Forecasting the direction of future stock prices is a widely studied topic in many fields including trading, finance, statistics and computer science. The motivation for which is naturally to predict the direction of future prices such that stocks can be bought and sold at profitable positions. Technical analysis is solely based on the study of historical price fluctuations. A stock price prediction model will be created using R programming.

The project explores the factors which determine the usage of market derivatives by Indian companies listed in the NSE. It took a total of 8 large firms in India. In this project, I defined the relationship between the stock market characteristics and options market liquidity using daily data for underlying stocks in the Indian context. Indirectly, hedging affects the competitiveness of a company by reducing overall operating expenses and increasing the level of competitiveness at the same time. In this project, I attempted to fill the gap relating to options liquidity and its determinants in the Indian context. I examined the relationship between stock market characteristics and option market liquidity for equity options. PROJECTS

SUSTENANCE OF EQUILIBRIUM BETWEEN RATIONALE PREFERENCES AND CO-OPERATION Journal name: BLOOMSBURY PUBLISHING Publication date: Dec 28, 2018 Traditional economics considers individuals to be completely self-motivated. The study systematically elicits the effects of two prevailing preferences: cooperation and fairness. Recent studies in behavioral economics and game theory have undermined the validity of the self-interest hypothesis. Cooperation may be defined as ‘the act of collective effort to achieve a shared goal’. We study cooperation through the use of public goods. These are goods which are provided without profit to all members of society. The study used an experimental design to study the existence of cooperation to satisfy collective wants and simultaneously maintain affordable prices. The experiment was conducted on 60 college students in a public goods market simulation, making decisions relating to their consumption in response to changing conditions and new information regarding the consumption of other participants. Fairness in economics is understood better through the concept of equity. Equity may be defined as provision of equal opportunity, basic goods and utilities to all members of society regardless of identity. PUBLICATIONS
