New York, Feb. 14, 2012—Two Columbia Law School professors will give expert testimony tomorrow afternoon at two separate hearings in Washington, D.C., one focused on Chinese state-owned corporations and the other on executive compensation for financial services executives.
Associate Professor Robert Jackson, Jr., a former advisor at the U.S. Department of Treasury/ Office of Special Master for TARP Executive Compensation, will testify at 2:30 p.m. EDT on federal oversight of banker pay at a subcommittee hearing of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs on Federal Oversight of Banker Pay. Jackson will discuss bonus practices at large financial institutions, the role these practices played in the financial crisis, gaps in current federal oversight of banker pay, and needed reforms.
The hearing is open to the public and will be streamed live.
Professor Curtis Milhaupt will testify at 3:30 p.m. EDT about policy options for addressing Chinese state-owned enterprises before a hearing held by the U.S.–China Economic and Security Review Commission. Congress established the Commission in 2000 to report on the national security implications of the bilateral trade and economic relations between the U.S. and the People’s Republic of China.
Milhaupt, the Parker Professor of Comparative Corporate Law, Fuyo Professor of Japanese Law, and director of the Center for Japanese Legal Studies, recently co-authored a paper on the mechanisms of state capitalism in China. He is a leading expert on Asian legal systems and comparative corporate governance.
The hearing is open to the public, and will be streamed live. A transcript of the proceedings will be available at that same site in several week
