Education
Shih obtained his bachelor's degree in business administration from Fu Jen Catholic University in 1978, master's degree in economics from Soochow University in 1980 and doctoral degree in economics from National Taiwan University in 1984.[1] As a student, he led a demonstration which protested the White Terror, a period of political suppression that began after the 228 Incident of 1947.[2]
Career
After graduation, Shih did research with the Academia Sinica, then joined the Fair Trade Commission from 1998 to 2001.[2]
Financial Supervisory Commission chairmanship
He was appointed to the Financial Supervisory Commission in July 2006, and named FSC chairman in August of that year.[2] During Shih's tenure as FSC chairman, the Rebar Chinese Bank filed for bankruptcy protection, which caused a bank run that led to NT$19 billion in losses and eventual government takeover of the financial institution.[3][4][5] He resigned on 12 January 2007, shortly after the takeover announcement, to take responsibility for the Rebar scandal and was succeeded by Susan Chang on an interim basis, before Hu Sheng-cheng took office.[6][7]
Other government work
Shih returned to the Academia Sinica's Institute of Social Science after resigning the FSC chairmanship.[8][9] He was named the economic adviser to Tsai Ing-wen's 2016 presidential campaign.[10] Shortly before she won the election, the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission reported that Shih could be chosen as a financial adviser in Tsai's administration.[11] Tsai's premier Lin Chuan selected Shih as a minister without portfolio in April 2016. Shih was in charge of economic and communications policies, and led trade negotiations.[12]
