Projects

Funded research projects I currently lead or contribute to. For publications, see the Research page.

Climate Adaptation Living Lab

연세대학교 기후적응 리빙랩 연구사업단

Ongoing · Mar 2023 – Dec 2028 · Principal Investigator · Yonsei University

A five-year interdisciplinary program that builds and runs living labs — collaborative spaces where residents, local governments, and firms jointly define adaptation problems and test solutions in place. My work develops the field-experimental design and measures whether participatory adaptation planning changes what people are willing to do and support.

Public Preferences and Political Accountability for Multinational Corporations' Foreign Direct Investment

다국적 기업의 해외직접투자에 대한 대중 선호와 정치 책임성

Ongoing · Jun 2025 – May 2027 · Principal Investigator · National Research Foundation of Korea (Young Researcher Program)

Governments compete to attract multinational firms, but we know little about what the public actually wants from that competition, or whether voters hold anyone responsible for the outcome. This project uses conjoint and factorial experiments in South Korea to identify which firm and project attributes drive public support, and whether inbound and outbound investment are judged by different standards.

Developing the AI Sustainable Innovation Index (YASII)

AI 지속가능혁신의 국가별 측정 지표 개발

Ongoing · Nov 2025 – Nov 2026 · Co-Investigator · AI Innovation Research Institute, Yonsei University

A pilot study measuring how AI innovation is socially accepted and whether that acceptance is sustainable, across Korea, the United States, Japan, and China. I lead the survey design and cross-national comparison, including an experiment testing whether government certification changes public trust in AI systems relative to private self-regulation.

Developing the AI Sustainable Innovation Index (ASII)

AI 지속가능혁신지수 개발

Starting Jun 2026 · Jun 2026 – May 2029 · Co-Investigator · National Research Foundation of Korea (Collaborative Research Program)

A three-year extension of this agenda to ten countries, asking whether rapid adoption of AI and its long-run sustainability move together or pull apart. I lead the comparative survey design and the experiments on institutional trust and information provision.
