主题:Aggressive, Stable or Corrupt? Theory and evidence of the Competition Driven Career Path in the Chinese Bureaucracy  
摘要:This paper provides a theoretical model as well as empirical evidence on Chinese bureaucrats` incentives in the competition driven promotion system. By assuming that the candidate with the best economic performance under stability becomes the winner, and that candidates have different types (including ability and age), we reveal in equilibrium how a candidate`s strategy changes as his age increases. Moreover, we identify three types of interesting incentives in the case of asymmetric competition. We also use the biographic data of prefectural leaders and the corresponding fiscal expenditure structure to show that all theoretical predictions can be supported. This paper provides strong evidence on how mechanism can deeply shape people`s behavior and gives rich implications on the understanding of the Chinese bureaucracy from a novel and micro angle.
