I am generally interested in micro-macro approaches in social science and I am not a PhD.
My undergraduate degree was in biology, from Fudan University in Shanghai. I started a computer service business in school dormitory and managed it until I moved to Toledo of Ohio due to family reason. I have finished two masters in econ and math at the University of Toledo. This fall I am going to UIUC to start PhD in Economics. Currently I am doing research in demography, but complexity in social science is my long term target.
One of my research interests is Cliodynamics, the mathematical modeling of history. I hope to connect demographic, climatic records...to the dynasty cycles in China.

I like gardening and cat. Here attached a picture of my cat "cupcake". She looks like "Zen" in SFI but thinner.

Emergence of Money and Liquidity

2012-06-13T06:42:58Z

Jiaxu: /* What is money? */

== Project objective==
The best way to think about money is not to think about money. Do not want to assume what we are trying to explain (i.e., we do not want to code "money" into the model!). With these caveats in mind, the objective of this project is to build an ABM demonstrating the emergence of money that builds off of the previous models of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobuhiro_Kiyotaki Nobu Kiyotaki], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Hardman_Moore John Moore], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randall_Wright Randall Wright]. All of these models take a broad view of money: "money" is any asset which is widely accepted as a medium of exchange (i.e., is highly "liquid").

== Motivating example ==
The following is taken from Kiyotaki and Moore (2001). Suppose I need to get my teeth cleaned. To get my teeth cleaned, I can just go to a dentist who will clean my teeth in exchange for payment. Assume that both the dentist and I have bank accounts, and for simplicity assume that both account balances are initially zero. When I pay for my teeth cleaning using a debit card, funds are immediately transferred from my account to the dentist's. Now my account has a negative balance (i.e., I have issued an IOU to the bank); and the dentist's account has a positive balance (i.e., the bank has issued an IOU to the dentist).

* Question: Instead of using my debit card, why didn't I simply issue one of my own IOUs to the dentist as payment? In other words, why does the bank need to intermediate the transaction between myself and the dentist? Simple answer is that the dentist doesn't trust me enough to repay the debt. In other words my ability to credibly commit to repaying the debt is imperfect. Let 0 < θ ≤ 1 be a measure of my ability to commit with a particular agent (i.e., θ is a measure of ''bilateral commitment''). There is a more subtle answer. The dentist may trust me to repay (particularly as she could threaten to do something nasty to my teeth the next time I needed them cleaned), but perhaps no one ''else'' trusts me (i.e., the dentist is unable to use my IOU for her own purchases). Let 0 < φ ≤ 1 be a measure of my ability to commit with all other agents (i.e., φ is a measure of ''multilateral commitment'').

Note that if the dentist has the ability to perfectly commit with a particular agent (i.e., the dentist's θ=1), then my general lack of trustworthiness (i.e., the fact that both my θ and φ < 1) wouldn't matter. The dentist would be willing to accept my less than perfect IOU because she can simply issue her own IOUs anytime she wants to purchase something.

Suppose that no one else trusts the dentist either. In this case, the dentist can not issue her own IOUs (nor can she endorse my IOUs). Thus the only way the dentist can make purchases before the maturity date of my IOU is if she is paid with a bank IOU (and also, in return, the bank holds my IOU). The dentist gets more benefit from being paid with a bank IOU compared with my IOU. In the language of economics: my debt and bank debt are imperfect substitutes.

The bank’s IOU is used by me and the dentist to lubricate our transaction. Why? Because the bank’s IOU can freely circulate around the economy. Like blood, it is liquid. In fact, the bank's IOU is functionally equivalent to cash. But, unlike cash, it doesn’t come from outside the private system, it comes from inside. For this reason, bank debt is called "inside money". Quantitatively, "inside" money dwarfs "outside" (i.e., cash/coin or currency) money by more than almost 2 orders of magnitude.

== What is money? ==
Wikipedia's entry for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money money] is a pretty good place to start.

'''Distinction between "inside" and "outside" money:''' When most people think of money, they have in mind cash/coin (i.e., currency) issued by the government. Currency is called "outside" money precisely because it is issued by the government which is by definition "outside" the private economic system. However, there can be many other forms of money that are created within the private economic system, such forms of money are called "inside" money. Richard Lagos from the Minneapolis FED has a nice short [http://www.minneapolisfed.org/research/sr/sr374.pdf paper] on the distinction between the two.

'''==First paper money in the world== by Jianfeng Xu'''
The first paper money “jiaozi” appeared in Sichuan province of China at 10th century. Facing the problem of limited supply of copper to make coins, varies of paper certificates issued by private businesses were circulating in the market. Local official regulated these “IOU” by limiting the issuers to 16 richest families and setting a 2 year limit to cash out or renew these “jiaozi”. (This is inside money). Finally government could not resist stepping in and printing state-issued paper money. Inflation happened when government printed money to cover over spending. Therefore, paper money lose credit and never been widely used until early 1900s. (This is outside money).

== What does money do? ==
I think of a market economy as being a (quite sophisticated) de-centralized optimization algorithm that maximizes the size of the "economic pie" (think output, GDP, etc) subject to resource constraints. Because agents in the economy have only local information about their economic environment, in order for the "algorithm" to work there needs to exist some mechanism for passing information about the relative scarcity of resources between agents. In market economies, prices are the mechanism for transmitting such information. In a way, prices are like the economy's central nervous system in that prices signal the needs of various parts of the economic body. Flow of money and private securities through the economy is analogous to the flow of blood: "money" dispatches resources to different parts of the economic body in response to price signals.

== 12 June 2012 ==
The following are notes from group discussion.
''' Consumption rule:''' Turtles are assumed to consume a fixed fraction, 1 - β (where 0 < β < 1 is a turtle's discount factor), of their start of period net-worth each period.

''' Investment opportunities:''' From time to time, turtles will encounter an investment opportunity (which is what will generate the demand for borrowing). Specifically, the model will assume that a turtle encounters an investment opportunity with exogenous probability, π which is assumed to be iid across both turtles and time. Investment projects require some fixed number of periods, say N, to complete and once started the turtle managing the project is required to remain fixed on his patch (implicitly we assume that the project cannot continue without the turtle's specific supervision).

'''Production Technology:''' Each agent is assumed to have access to an identical constant returns to scale production technology. Specifically model assumes that output is a function of capital: ''y = ak'', where ''a > 1.'' Note that ''y'' takes N periods to produce!

'''Finance:''' The scale of the project (i.e., the amount of ''y'' produced) will depend on the amount of capital available at the time the project is started, and the amount of capital depends on the amount of finance that the turtle can raise. A turtle with an investment opportunity has several options for finance:
* Self-finance: the turtle may invest his own funds in the project. If turtle has been a lender in the past, he may have assets (i.e., IOUs from other turtles) that he could sell. Additionally, turtle will also have savings (i.e., grain that has been collected but not consumed).
* Borrowed funds: the turtle may borrow funds from any other turtle (within his vision!) that does not have an investment project. Borrowing is subject to a collateral constraint which depends on the turtle's ability to commit bilaterally (i.e., turtle's θ) and on the inherent quality of the patch on which the project is being undertaken. Specifically, suppose that the patch has a ''max-grain-here'' =''G,'' then the turtle can borrow at most ''θG''.

When deciding whether or not to borrow, the turtle ''i'' compares his marginal benefit from borrowing an additional unit with the marginal cost of borrowing from turtle ''j'' and will want to borrow iff:

βiN(1 - θi)a ≥ Rj

The lending turtle ''j'' meanwhile will only be willing to lend iff the marginal benefit from lending exceeds his opportunity cost:

βjNθiRj ≥ max{1, Rk}

Note that the lender's opportunity cost allows for the possibility that he may have other turtles wishing to borrow funds from him! These two inequalities will pin down an interval in which the interest rate must fall if a bi-lateral agreement can be struck between turtle's ''i'' and ''j.'' Also, although a turtle who is managing a project must remained fixed on his patch, a lending turtle can move freely.

Jiaxu: /* From Jianfeng Xu: */

== Ideas for Innovation Project ==

Please list here your individual ideas for what we might like to work on. At the moment Charlie Brummitt, Gareth Haslam, Daniel Wu, Nicolas Goudemand, Andres Gomez-Lievano, and Jienfang Xu have all expressed an interest. If there is anyone I have missed please let me (GH) know. Everything is still open at the moment so I think we agreed that each person should try and form a research question and then a few details about idea, methods etc. (keep it short). Please use this page to post comments, papers, and other thoughts. Also, please list any particular skills/assets you may have (existing data, software familiarity, programming, game design, graphic design, network construction etc.).

=== Patent data ===
NBER has useful [http://www.nber.org/patents/ patent data] in CVS ASCII format. I (Charlie) just loaded it into ''Mathematica'' and plotted the # patents over time [[File:patents-over-time.pdf]] and # patents per captia over time [[File: patents-per-capita.pdf]]. The latter is roughly constant and might grow somewhat linearly after 1980.

==== From Andres: ====
Apparently, wiki doesn't allow to upload csv files... Do you know a way to upload it somewhere (so we don't have to be sending files by email all the time)?

==== From Jianfeng Xu:====
data from Hyejin Youn:

This is the occupation and its ability: http://www.onetonline.org/find/descriptor/browse/Abilities/1.A.1/

Turns out that this website also have the mapping from occupation to business types (or industry) at certain level.

Jiaxu: /* From Andres: */

== Ideas for Innovation Project ==

Please list here your individual ideas for what we might like to work on. At the moment Charlie Brummitt, Gareth Haslam, Daniel Wu, Nicolas Goudemand, Andres Gomez-Lievano, and Jienfang Xu have all expressed an interest. If there is anyone I have missed please let me (GH) know. Everything is still open at the moment so I think we agreed that each person should try and form a research question and then a few details about idea, methods etc. (keep it short). Please use this page to post comments, papers, and other thoughts. Also, please list any particular skills/assets you may have (existing data, software familiarity, programming, game design, graphic design, network construction etc.).

=== Patent data ===
NBER has useful [http://www.nber.org/patents/ patent data] in CVS ASCII format. I (Charlie) just loaded it into ''Mathematica'' and plotted the # patents over time [[File:patents-over-time.pdf]] and # patents per captia over time [[File: patents-per-capita.pdf]]. The latter is roughly constant and might grow somewhat linearly after 1980.

==== From Andres: ====
Apparently, wiki doesn't allow to upload csv files... Do you know a way to upload it somewhere (so we don't have to be sending files by email all the time)?

==== From Jianfeng Xu:====
two papers,

David krakauer derived a "lightspeed" of biology evolution in this paper.
