In my doctoral thesis, methods of evolutionary game theory and its dynamics are applied to some economic theories. This consists of three independently-themed papers. Each title is
a. role of opportunistic punishment in the evolution of cooperation cooperation
a. Evolutionary dynamics on social ties
a. Replicator dynamics of population with players’ differing abilities.
In NCSOFT, my tasks includes designing ’(online) game’ economy, data analysis on log data of online games, and planning corpoerate strategies with analysis on economic situation. In KISDI, I worked mainly on competition policy for telecommunication business. My main topics were tariff policy of mobile communications and antitrust issues of Korean online search engine.
Another parts of my research focuses on online games and their economic impacts on society. Most of my works are based on the specific context of Korean online gaming including effects of RMT (Real-Money Trading) on online gaming
service and individual gamers. Currently progressing researches are:
a. Relationship among game design, players’ behaviors and RMT
a. User data analysis of Korean online/mobile gaming
