| Current Status of Research Progress |
Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
The project has now began to gather momentum on the back of valuable data aquisitions and feild research.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
I have three research activities planned. First, In intend to take the ECPR Introduction to Social Network Analysis couse in July 2024 since I have come to recognize that benchmarks might be best analysed as a network structure. Second, I plan a research visit to Holland to work with my co-author Miles Kellerman at Leiden University. Last, I plan a visit to Singapore to visit the Platts oil market conference.
