Shuang-he Shang
尚双鹤

Welcome! 

I am a Young Professional at the World Bank, specializing in private sector development.

Before I found my first job, I earned my PhD in Economics from the National School of Development at Peking University in July 2024. In 2023, I was a visiting student at Columbia University. 

My interests focus on industrialization in developing countries, with a strong emphasis on fieldwork in real-world economics rather than econometric regressions or modeling. 

For me, the PhD degree is only a tool in the signaling game in the job market. So you can think of me as someone with basic economic training. 

During my PhD years, I conducted over 300 interviews with top executives of leading Chinese firms, small and medium-sized business owners, and local government officials at various levels. 

Beyond economics, I have a deep passion for history, geography, and exploring the world. I’m an avid visitor to historical museums in small towns and always eager to see new places.
