We are a Chicago and Singapore based independent economic consultancy specializing in new economic thinking. We believe that economics could and indeed should be better than what we have today and we are big proponents of incorporating behavioral psychology, complexity theory, agent-based modeling, computational and experimental methods in developing a richer understanding of economics and economic systems. We do not believe that mainstream economics in its current manifestation should be the last word on how economics is understood or in how our economic systems are designed.
With our team’s extensive central banking experience in economic forecasting as well as financial markets research, alongside research in computational condensed matter physics, we bring over 15 years of experience in economics, statistics and physics problem solving to the table via our very unique interdisciplinary perspective on economics. [Please contact us here.]
We can help you or your organization incorporate a much richer understanding of how human beings actually interact in the economy as well as help you design more optimal economic solutions tailored to your environment. We also provide training and workshops introducing basic behavioral economics ideas as well as run an experimental economics “lab” for testing the effects of changing mechanism and market design. We hope to engage you in our new vision for how economics should be. Please join us in this movement!

HoKiat Lim – Principal, Complexity Behavioral Economist
HoKiat specializes in new economic thinking that incorporates complexity science, behavioral economics, agent-based modeling and experimental methods into the analysis and design of economic systems. HoKiat has extensive central banking experience in economic forecasting and financial markets research from his time with the Monetary Authority of Singapore as a Senior Economist, alongside research expertise in theoretical and computational condensed matter physics in academia, which he brings together in a diverse technical skill set and uniquely interdisciplinary perspective on how complex systems work.
He has advised companies on data science, behavioral science strategy, economic systems analysis/design as well as mechanism design within the blockchain space. HoKiat holds a B.A. in Economics from the University of Cambridge, an A.M. in Statistics from Harvard University and an M.A. in Physics from the University of Southern California.
