Paige Skiba

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