It shows that 1) regional competition and fiscal interactions among local areas would lead to a “race to the top” in the provision of productive public goods, and a “race to the bottom” in terms welfare spending; 2) the perceived political promotion system induces local officials to maximize growth by allocating more public fund to growth and less for welfare support; 3) the remarkable economic performance is achieved at the cost of the wellbeing of the poor; 4) China’s political selection mechanism may be growth-enhancing but may not be utility-maximizing.                                聯(lián)系人:呂媛媛 62511058
