Expertise
Professor Habib's recent work has been on sovereign debt. He seeks to determine a country's maximum debt capacity, an important variable in view of the large increases in government debt that have occurred in the wake of both the financial and the COVID-19 crises. He has also been working on political economy considerations in the transmission of central bank policy, examining the role of central and local government bank ownership in China and factionalism within the Chinese Communist Party in hastening or hindering the implementation of The People's Bank of China's mortgage lending directives. Finally, he has been studying legal systems, comparing the information production incentives provided by the somewhat differing pre-trial procedures in common and civil law systems.
