内容简介

对于转型期中国地方政府行为的研究，现有文献日益重视正式制度对官员行为的激励和约束作用：以GDP为标尺的相对绩效考核制度是改革开放后中国经济成功的决定因素，同时该正式制度也是地方政府忽视公共物品供给的重要原因。即使在考虑了正式制度及社会经济因素之后，本研究仍然观察到地方政府在公共物品供给水平上存在着显著的地区和时间差异。然而，对于此差异背后的决定因素，现有文献却考察不足。本书认为，非正式制度是造成该差异的原因。通过采用地区领导人籍贯作为非正式制度的代理并利用1990年至2010年的中国地级市数据，本研究系统检验了上述假设。

In the existing literature on the study of the behaviour of local governments in transitional China, increasing attention has been paid to the incentive and constraint effects of formal institutions on the behaviour of officials. The relative performance appraisal system based on GDP is a determining factor in China's economic success after the reform and opening up, and at the same time, it is also an important reason why local governments neglect the supply of public goods. Even after taking into account formal institutions and socioeconomic factors, this study still observes significant regional and temporal differences in the level of public goods provision by local governments. However, the determinants behind this difference have not been adequately examined in the existing literature. This book argues that informal institutions are the cause of this difference. By using the regional leader's hometown as a proxy for informal institutions and using data from prefecture-level cities in China from 1990 to 2010, this study systematically tests the above hypothesis.
