Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
I am working on a project "Social Learning and Strategic Pricing on Online Platforms" with Professor Junichiro Ishida and Professor Kong-Pin Chen. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we could not have face-to-face discussions, which slows down the progress.
For other projects, my coauthors and I discussed via online meetings, and they progress smoothly.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
I will continue to work on the project "Social Learning and Strategic Pricing on Online Platforms." This work studies frictions on platforms. I will also start new projects that considers more complicated environment to understand how the learning process would be different. My coauthors and I will also present the finished work at seminars and conferences.
|
| Causes of Carryover |
I planned to meet my coauthors in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the U.S. for discussions and attend international conferences. However, the covid-19 pandemic made it impossible to travel abroad. Therefore, I could not use up all the grand amount in my original plan.
