Research Topics
My research interests lie in both empirical research and statistical model building of social and economic big data. On the empirical research side, my research has mainly focused on analyzing datasets primarily in finance and macroeconomics domain (financial markets, blockchain, news text, financial statements, firm networks, sales of products), but this does not mean that I am solely interested in economics. For the statistical modeling side, my focus is on developing models that take into account various characteristics and empirical regularities found in the economy and utilizing information from multiple sources in the form of a heterogeneous information network. For the latter model building research, I mainly develop network mining (simple, temporal, heterogeneous information network) and text mining methods.
By combining the two research topics, my goal is to model complex issues in society (e.g., propagation and mitigation of shocks, hidden industrial block structure, aggregate fluctuation, matching among firms, network formation, bubbles, crashes, financial statements, systemic risks, the velocity of money, news events and reliability of information) to not only contribute to academic research but better understand risks and accelerate evidence-based policymaking.
