讲座内容简介：This paper offers new observations on fiscal decentralization’s causal effects on economic development in transitional China. In the 1980s, China’s central government conducted the Fiscal Contracting Reform which renegotiated its fiscal contract with each province and provincial governments modified their subcontracts with county-level governments subsequently. We construct a comprehensive county-level data set from 1985 to 1991. Our econometric methodology exploits two sources of quasi-exogenous variation: provincial fiscal decentralization ratio and the preferential policy to the Subsidized Counties, relative to the Contributory Counties, to achieve identification. Empirical findings suggest that fiscal decentralization promotes industrial output (especially for TVEs). Further investigation confirms the hammered mechanism of capital deepening through attracting private and FDI firm entrants.
