Hello, my name is Jae-Woo Kim. I am a graduate student in University of California, Riverside (UCR). My two specialties are political economy/ global social change and organizations/ institutions. The MA thesis in Korea was to investigate the Swedish welfare politics through the lens of pension reform. I wish to study more about the political economy of Asia from the world-systems perspective. Also, I have been interested in economic sociology, social network analysis, and computer simulation. In my examination paper, I employed network analysis to comprehend the change in the structure of Korean sociological academic community. Recently, I am diving into agent-based modeling of the relationship among behavior, institution, and network. With Robert A. Hanneman as the advisor, I am preparing my doctoral dissertation on how social structure and institutional order co-evolve from local interactions among adaptively learning agents when they follow affective rationale as well as instrumental rationale in the setting of social dilemma games.
