My research focuses on effective social and economic coordination enabled by modern information systems. I studied social media, online social networks, crowdsourcing, platform-based business, financial technology, etc.
I approach my research questions with multiple research methods, including formal analytical model, classical econometric analysis, social network analysis, and Bayesian structural modeling. Each methodology brings a unique angle and advantage in theory development.
