SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | From Click to Boom: The Political Economy of E-commerce in China
DESCRIPTION:Attend in person or via Zoom: https://myumi.ch/Q61JX\n\nHow do states build essential market institutions when political or technical barriers hinder the establishment of the rule of law? In From Click to Boom\, Lizhi Liu suggests a digital solution: governments strategically outsourcing tasks of institutional development and enforcement to digital platforms—a process she calls “institutional outsourcing.” Through extensive interviews\, original surveys\, 28 million proprietary data points\, and a field experiment across three Chinese provinces\, Liu illustrates how China’s 800-million-user e-commerce market emerged from scratch and has profoundly transformed the nation’s economy and society.\n   \n   Lizhi Liu is an Assistant Professor in the McDonough School of Business and a faculty affiliate of the Department of Government at Georgetown University. Her research specializes in political economy and emerging markets. Her work has been published by American Economic Review: Insights\, Studies in Comparative International Development\, Minnesota Law Review\, Oxford University Press\, and Princeton University Press. In particular\, her research on the political economy of China's e-commerce market has garnered multiple research awards and grants. In 2021\, she was honored as one of Poets&Quants Top 50 Undergraduate Business Professors.\n   \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at chinese.studies@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.
