| Research Abstract |
In this research project, we study on social coordination in networks. First, we focus on the evolution of coordination in social networks and examine the effect of network topology on the long-run outcome. Second, we propose a theoretical framework that incorporates both social and transportation networks into an equilibrium model of social interactions in order to examine how the level and the spatial pattern of social coordination between agents depend on both networks. Our finding unveils a mechanism of coordination in social networks, which is now supposed to be a key factor of regional sustainable development.
