Claire Lim

Her research investigates how characteristics of political environments and the design of government institutions interact with the behavior of public officials, the conduct of regulated industries, and social welfare. She has been conducting such investigations in various contexts: the behavior of judges in U.S. state courts, regulation of the U.S. energy industry, and the operation of the U.S. health care system. Her current research agenda also includes transportation infrastructure in the U.S. and the role of political networks in fiscal allocation in China.

Her research has been published in the prestigious general interest journals and top field journals in economics, such as the American Economic Review, Journal of Political Economy, Annual Review of Economics, American Economic Journal - Applied Economics, and Journal of Public Economics.

She currently serves as an associate editor of Cambridge Elements in Law, Economics and Politics. She has also served as a panel member of Economic Policy, an economic journal that focuses on global policy issues.

Her teaching experiences include a broad range of subjects and audiences, ranging from non-market strategy for MBA students to econometric theory and applied econometrics for PhD, Masters, and undergraduate students. At Ivey, she teaches the Global Macroeconomics for Managers in the HBA program.

She received her PhD from the University of Pennsylvania. She has been on the faculty of Stanford University, Cornell University, and Queen Mary University of London (UK). She has also been a CSDP fellow at the Woodrow Wilson School at Princeton University, and a National Fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University.
