Zhirong Zhao’s Summary
A native of China, Zhirong "Jerry" Zhao is an assistant professor of public administration. His research focuses on local and nonprofit financial issues, in particular how local government and nonprofit agencies manage to generate sufficient revenue under ever-increasing constraints; how the financial structure of public or nonprofit organizations affect the pattern and effectiveness of public service delivery; and how public and nonprofit organizations interact--vertically or horizontally--in budgetary and service decision making.
Zhao holds a Ph.D. in public administration from the University of Georgia and earned bachelor's and master's degrees in urban planning from Tongji University, Shanghai (China). In his earlier career as an urban planer, he consulted for many local governments across China and published journal articles in New Architecture and Urban Planning Forum, as well as book chapters on historical preservation.
