Abstract

Abstract Land fiscalization in China is a local development strategy intended to tilt the distribution of interests disproportionately toward local officials. We propose that the degree of power concentration among provincial Chinese leaders affects their need for support from lower-level bureaucrats. The more that power is dispersed among provincial leaders, the more they are incentivized to dispense benefits to local officials. To test this hypothesis, we used provincial-year panel data spanning 2003–2012 to examine how power concentration among provincial leaders affected land fiscalization within their jurisdictions. The empirical results robustly supported the hypothesis.

地方发展国家的权力分配与分配政治——来自中国次国家土地裂变的证据
摘要中国的土地财政化是一种地方发展战略,旨在使利益分配不成比例地向地方官员倾斜。我们认为,中国省级领导人的权力集中程度会影响他们对下级官僚支持的需求。权力越分散在省级领导人之间,他们就越有动力向地方官员发放福利。为了检验这一假设,我们使用了2003-2012年的省级面板数据来检验省级领导人的权力集中如何影响其管辖范围内的土地财政化。实证结果有力地支持了这一假设。
