This project is part of a large multi-cluster Future Resilient Systems 2 (FRS 2) proposal funded by the National Research Foundation in 2020. It will use interdisciplinary approaches to model firm networks and online investor networks so that we can better understand how individual/firm networks affect the resilience of financial systems.

Due to the outbreaks of major political, economic, and natural disasters (e.g., the 2008 global financial crisis and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic), the resilience concept has been widely and enthusiastically embraced by policy-makers, practitioners and academics. Financial systems are critical for developing, maintaining, and fostering the resilience of many high-density urban systems (HD-US). At the same time, HD-US are critical for the functioning and development of financial systems.

I propose to develop relevant research methodologies that will be useful to market players who wish to better understand the resilience of corporate decisions, and to policymakers who can rely on such models to deal with systemic risks and recovery.
