Dr Hui Feng, Senior Research Fellow and ARC Future Fellow, Griffith Asia Institute, Griffith University
China's post-2008 stimulus and credit surge marked a critical juncture for its state-directed banking system and economic growth model. The subsequent growth of the informal shadow banking sector marked a classic "informal institutional adaptation' in the shadow of hierarchy. This presentation examines the dynamics of this episode of institutional change in Chinese political economy that saw the rise of shadow banking and subsequent regulation on the part of the state.
It also discusses the wider implications over China's economic and political transition, as well as theoretical implications over our understanding of critical juncture and institutional change.
