Research Areas
Shadow Banking: Risks and Regulatory Reforms
Daile plans to approach her research from three perspective: first, regulation reform on shadow banks; second, view shadow banking as a milestone of the evolvement of systemic risk; third, special regulatory issues on Chinese shadow banks.
Under the first perspective, it can be found that shadow banking shows a universal tendency that credit intermediation is transferring from traditional financial institutions (banks) to financial markets. The risk remains but the regulatory tools are losing powers under the new context. Under the second perspective, she would regard the 2007 financial crisis as a development of the 1998 Long-term Capital Management crisis in the U.S. and review the development of systemic risks. Under the third perspective, she plans to analyse an important kind of Chinese shadow banks: wealth management products and the related regulatory issues.
