主題:Year-End Rush and Career Tournament: Theory and Evidence from Chinese Patent Application


講座簡介:

This paper proposes a theory of the year-end rush (also referred to as the “fourth-quarter effect”), the year-end surge of investments or activities prevalent in organizations. In a multi-period tournament with observable interim performances, the contestants who lag behind will be more aggressive in catching up than their opponents in the latter period. Since the last period is not subject to subsequent catching up effort, the marginal return on effort, and its level, is greatest  in the last period, which causes an end-of-period surge in effort. Moreover, there is a monotonically increasing relationship between a contestant’s interim  erformance and the extent of his year-end rush. Since the promotion of Chinese officials in the bureaucratic hierarchy is well-known to be a tournament, we use data for patent applications in Chinese cities to empirically test the theory. We show that the underlying cause of the year-end rush is the tournament between local officials; the growth target policy only exacerbates it. The evidence also shows that patent agencies play an important role in the patent rush.
