My research has been focused on institutional design in financial market and local community. Four topics in my current research are: 1) analysis and design of market rules based on synchronic and diachronic perspectives, 2) study on circulation mechanism of community currency using multi-agent simulation and gaming, and 3) money consciousness research by institutional ecology approach, 4) analysis and design of "third place".
