Many thanks to Professor Victor Shih @vshih2, director @21CenturyChina and his superb team for hosting me and for giving me the opportunity to share findings of Wuhan. I enjoyed the stimulating discussions during the talk and with friends from different disciplines throughout the visit. San Diego is an absolutely enchanting place for the book talk and a scholar’s paradise for those who study contemporary China. @susanshirk1 @bnaughton @rxjia

This looks a lot like the executive of the world's second biggest economy making policies based on something that happened to its president. I'm sure that's not what this is. Just what it looks like.

Some banking systems are locked in a tight embrace with their sovereign. With sovereign valuations under pressure, the embrace could become poisonous for some.... even deadly.

I've always wondered whether there would be a glut of housing when all the Boomers finally sell, since immigration and fertility rates are low. Some analysts think that as more inventory comes onto the market, we're already overbuilt: time.com/6178366/house-price…

Signs Are Pointing to a Slowdown in the Housing Market—At Last

The U.S. may be at a crucial juncture, at which a lot of properties are coming onto the market just as demand slows, analysts say

The very first index of fiscal reputation (I think) based on adherence to fiscal forecasts over last 10 years. Kinda critical for EM folk at the moment given the easy-to-make promises of fiscal retrenchment paths

In the @WSJ today, I argue that today's ethics programs need to go far beyond legal risk, and consider compliance, culture and corporate responsibility in a more holistic and strategic way. I welcome your comments! wsj.com/articles/how-compani…
How Companies Can Create an Ethics Program for a New Era

How Companies Can Create an Ethics Program for a New Era

It used to be that companies just had to make sure they didn’t break the law to be considered ethical. Now, it’s so much more than that.
