Myong-Hun
Chang is Professor of Economics at
Cleveland State University. He studied
Operations
Research & Information Engineering as an undergraduate at
Cornell
University. Upon graduating with a B.S. in 1984, he entered the
graduate program in
Economics at
The Johns Hopkins University, earning a Ph.D. in 1988. His primary research interests are in industrial Organization, organization theory, and game-theoretic and computational modeling of social and behavioral dynamics. In addition to Cleveland State University, he has taught at
The Johns Hopkins University and the
Owen Graduate School of Management at
Vanderbilt University as a visiting faculty.
His current and recent research projects include: 1) Computational and mathematical modeling of infectious diseases; 2) social dynamics of stigma; 3) industry dynamics; 4) corporate leniency program and the behavior of cartels; 5) endogenous social networks; 6) organizational structure. All of these research efforts employ
game-theoretic and/or
agent-based computational modeling techniques.
