Since 2015 I have also been a senior nonresident fellow at the <a href="http://www.paulsoninstitute.org/think-tank/">Paulson Institute</a>, the Chicago-based think tank.</p>
<p>My day job is to write and talk about the Chinese economy, and manage a team of analysts. The research we produce for clients of our firm is available on our <a href="http://research.gavekal.com/gavekal-dragonomics" target="_blank">website</a>.</p>
<p>This blog features occasional other musings and some of the writing I do for a general audience. I also used to be a reporter for <em>The Wall Street Journal</em>; more about my professional background is at my <a href="http://cn.linkedin.com/pub/andrew-batson/0/54a/5a4/" target="_blank">LinkedIn profile</a>.</p>
