Dissertation: Three Essays on the Network of Financial Centers, Financial and Political Crises
Dissertation Description: This thesis contains studies on a network analysis of financial centers, a continuous time approach to analyze the political and economic stability which related to the franchise extension and social unrest, and causes of the global financial crisis in 2007 by employing new institutional economics methodology. The unique research in this thesis is a study on network centrality analysis using portfolio investment data and GDP from 37 financial centers. To study network centrality, I employ the node degree, node strength, eigenvector centrality, and random walk betweenness centrality methods. Among those methods, the node strength and eigenvector centrality methods serve as meaningful indices of network centrality.
