Victor Shih
Associate Professor
PhD, Harvard University
Professor Shih is interested in political economy in developing countries broadly and how politics affect economic outcomes in China specifically. His dissertation, which is currently a book manuscript, concerns the impact of factional politics on Chinese monetary and banking policies. His current research examines how China' s authoritarian politics affect taxation policies and fiscal transfers. He also has on-going projects on the performance of Chinese banks, signaling in elite politics, and elite selection in China.
