Paige Skiba

Paige Marta Skiba is an American economist who is FedEx Research Professor Professor of Law and Professor of Economics at Vanderbilt University Law School,[1] and an associate editor of the International Review of Law and Economics.[2] She is an expert on the causes of consequences of consumer borrowing at high-interest rates, such as payday loans and pawnshop loans.[3] She finds that these borrowers have few other options for credit, but often default on these loans after making expensive payments.[4][5] 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.[6]
