Christopher Balding Biography

After nine years in the HSBC Business School of Peking University Graduate School in Shenzhen, China, Christopher Balding is now an associate professor at Fulbright University Vietnam. He is a Bloomberg View contributor and advises governments, central banks, and investors across the world on China. He is widely regarded as one of the leading authorities on the Chinese economy and financial markets. He has provided insight on the Chinese economy on Bloomberg, the Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times, the BBC, CNBC, and Al-Jazeera. Christopher often speaks at colleges and conferences across the world, bringing unrivaled data knowledge and perspective from his eight years in China. His book Sovereign Wealth Funds: The New Intersection of Money and Power, published by Oxford University Press, has been described as a "outstanding source." His book, which focuses on their growth from a modest cash management operation to global financial behemoths with trillions of dollars in assets under management, provides unique insights into their history, policy motives, success, and failures. A polymath in academic research, he has published in leading international journals such as the Review of International Economics, Health Policy and Planning, the Journal of Emerging Market Finance, the International Finance Review, and the Journal of Public Economic Theory on topics ranging from international trade and finance to the health status of international adoptees in the United States. Current working papers include studies on the returns on carry trade returns in a fixed exchange rate system with capital controls, using copper as collateral to conceal capital movements, and the implied murder rates of foreign adoptees. He holds a PhD from the University of California, Irvine, as well as an M.A. and a B.A. from George Washington University.
