Calibration of Passive Market Impact with a Queue-Sensitive Propagator Model

We develop a framework for calibrating passive market impact, defined as the price response to liquidity-providing limit orders, in contrast to the impact of liquidity-consuming market orders. We build on the model of Ouazzani Chahdi, Rosenbaum, and Szymanski (arxiv:2412.07461), which combines Hawke

A unified theory of order flow, market impact, and volatility

We propose a microstructural model for the order flow in financial markets that distinguishes between {\it core orders} and {\it reaction flow}, both modeled as Hawkes processes. This model has a natural scaling limit that reconciles a number of salient empirical properties: persistent signed order

Trading with market resistance and concave price impact

We consider an optimal trading problem under a market impact model with endogenous market resistance generated by a sophisticated trader who (partially) detects metaorders and trades against them to exploit price overreactions induced by the order flow. The model features a concave transient impact
