Carol H. Shiue

My work is on economic history, specifically the economic history of China. With "Transport Costs and the Geography of Arbitrage in Eighteenth Century China", I have written the first paper on China's economic history published in the American Economic Review (2002). My research has been supported by multiple grants of the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health, and I was a Fellow at the Hoover Institution as well as at the Russell Sage Foundation. My research has recently been presented at universities including Stanford, Yale, Northwestern, and Harvard, and I am affiliated with both the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR) and the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER).

I held editorial positions at the Journal of Economic History, Social Science History, and Explorations in Economic History, and I spent three years on the Advisory Panel of the National Science Foundation.

My undergraduate degree is from MIT and my PhD from Yale, both in Economics. Before coming to the University of Colorado, I was a faculty at the University of Texas-Austin and also held visiting positions at Princeton, Stanford, and The World Bank.
