American economist
Paige Marta Skiba is an American economist who is a FedEx Research Professor Professor of Law and Professor of Economics at Vanderbilt University Law School, and an associate editor of the "International Review of Law and Economics". She is an expert on the causes of consequences of consumer borrowing at high interest rates, such as payday loans and pawnshop loans. She finds that these borrowers have few other options for credit, but often default on these loans after making expensive payments. During the COVID-19 recession, she was among a group of scholars of bankruptcy in the United States who proposed giving small businesses more time during the bankruptcy process to regain solvency.
