2. The great political divergence

abstract

This paper investigates the worldwide phenomenon of "political divergence'' between the East and the West. During the 8th to 10th centuries, Western Europe and China both achieved political stability, but they did so through dramatically different routes. Western Europe developed parliamentary representation on the basis of a power balance between the aristocracy and the crown, whereas China consolidated absolutism based on a state bureaucracy and an exam-based meritocracy. This paper provides empirical evidence to document this great political divergence, and it proposes a theory to understand the relationship between institutions and the monarchy-aristocracy power balance and the implications for political stability and long-run political development

5. The Other China Syndrome : Labor Market Effects of Export-Led Growth on Educational Attainment

abstract

This paper attemps to explore the interplay between trade and secondary educational attainment by exploiting Chinese data of from 31 provinces from 1998 to 2015. The findings of this paper suggest that export expansion has significantly negative consequences for the high school enrollment rate, especially in unequal provinces, after China’s accession to the WTO and during the global financial crisis. The adverse effect is robust, and the seemingly small effect can be enlarged given the population size: a 10% increase in exports value lowers high school enrollment by 15%~20%. The results imply that policymakers need to take the potential effects of trade on education into consideration when designing trade policies. In addition, in connection with the literature on Chinese import competition in the U.S. labor market (China Syndrome), this paper provides the other side of the picture by presenting how the Chinese export boom affects its own domestic labor market

7. Political Institutions, Entrenchments, and the Sustainability of Economic Development – A Lesson from Rural Finance

abstract

This paper provides insights on the sustainability of economic development from a historical and political economy perspective. We demonstrate that China's rural financial policy in the 1980s was quite liberal in employing market mechanisms, supporting entrepreneurship, and encouraging competition. These policies were abandoned in the early 1990s and replaced by ubiquitous government interference that shifted resource and policy priorities to benefit political incumbents. A large panel of survey data confirms that rural household access to finance decreased dramatically and that the statistical significance of economic entrepreneurial factors in determining credit allocation also fell. Further empirical analyses show that market economic conditions are not sufficient to explain these changes and the evidence is consistent with a political entrenchment motive during the political regime after the turmoil in the year 1989. Given the connection between entrenchment and underdevelopment, our findings raise the concern that China's political institutions' insufficient limits on the government could be a challenge for China to sustain its economic success

8. The Other China Syndrome : Labor Market Effects of Export-Led Growth on Educational Attainment

abstract

Export-led growth strategy has been demonstrated to be a viable path for economic development as evidenced by the East Asian “miracle.” But what is the influence of such viability on educational attainment? This paper attempts to answer this critical question by exploiting Chinese data of from 31 provinces from 1998 to 2015. Showing the positive effect of trade on economic development and education, the findings of this paper suggest that export expansion has significantly negative consequences for the high school enrollment rate, especially in unequal provinces, after China’s accession to the WTO and during the global financial crisis. The adverse effect is robust, and the seemingly small effect can be enlarged given the population size: a 10% increase in exports value lowers high school enrollment by 15%~20%. The results imply that policymakers need to take the potential effects of trade on education into consideration when designing trade policies. In addition, in connection with the classic literature on Chinese import competition in the U.S. labor market (China Syndrome), this paper provides the other side of the picture by presenting how the Chinese export boom affects its own domestic labor market
