Yasheng Huang's research focuses on international business, political economy and institutional issues. His recently published book, Selling China (Cambridge University Press, 2003) examines the institutional drivers of foreign direct investment (FDI) in China. This book has been profiled in numerous publications, including The Wall Street Journal, Economist, Businessworld, Le Monde, Economic Times, and Liangwang (Outlook) in China. Unlike many other studies of FDI in China, this book shows that some of the inefficiencies of China’s financial and legal institutions have served to drive up FDI inflows. The principal effect of these inefficiencies is a lowering of the average level of competitiveness of domestic firms, which creates a number of propitious conditions for foreign firms. Huang is extending this way of looking at FDI, examining the competitiveness of domestic firms to other countries by analyzing the institutional environment for local firms and entrepreneurship. He is currently working on projects on private sector development in China and in India and is writing several papers on the institutional determinants of foreign ownership and FDI.
