Contemporary Economics, Governance, and Law
Michael Pettis – blogs at China Financial Markets – Michael teaches in the Guanghua School of Management at Peking University. His are the clearest-eyed western views on China macroeconomics. In particular, he argues for the importance of balance sheet considerations in thinking about GDP growth. Two big ideas – investment that cannot earn a return is a waste, and at some point, subtracts from GDP as a loss; and very high Chinese household savings is largely a function of low household share of GDP, rather than some superior ability in restraint. Most of Pettis’ ideas are available in wonderfully written blog posts, available now from his Carnegie Endowment site.
