Victor Shih: Discussant for Economics: A Bumpy Road to a New Normal?
Victor Shih teaches political economy at the University of California at San Diego. He’s best known recently for his work on Chinese local government debt, but he’s published widely on banking policies, fiscal policies, and the interplay of policies with elite politics. He’s the author of Factions and Finance in China: Elite Conflict and Inflation. Working with colleagues, Shih has built what is considered the largest database on Chinese elites. His recent articles include “Getting Ahead in the Communist Party” and “Guerilla Capitalism.”
