While the impact of land revenue has been widely analyzed, there is littleempirical research on the impact of land revenue on government planning horizon,especially government myopia. In response, this study investigates the effects ofland revenue on local government myopia within the context of the land leasingsystem in China. Measuring government myopia with textual analysis and machine learning,we empirically test the hypothesis based on a two-way fixed effects model and a series of robustness checkswith instrumental variables (IV) in addressing endogeneity. Our results indicate that local governments withlarger land revenue tend to be more myopic, and the greater uncertainty of land revenue increases the likelihood ofgovernment myopia, with the evidence that local governments prioritize short-term economic growth overlong-term investments in social welfare.
This study synthesizes insights from collaborative network andagency termination theories to investigate how agencies’ positions in designed networksimpact their survival probability.Using longitudinal data for the central apparatus in China from2005 to 2020, along with the designed networks derived from1243 joint tasks arranged by the State Council, we conductedevent history analyses to test our hypotheses. Our findings suggest that a centralized network position cansignificantly reducean agency's likelihood of termination, while agencies in theperiphery of designed networks may be less likely to survive significant restructuring.It is also discovered that stronger agencies,such as larger, economically functioning, or statutorily createdones, benefit more from centralized network positions. Thesefindings underscore the pivotal role played by agencies' positionswithin designed networks in their survival prospects. As such,agencies should strategically leveragetheir positions within collaborative networks to mitigate the risk of termination.
党的二十大报告提出,稳步扩大规则、规制、管理、标准等制度型开放。当前,我国对外开放逐渐由商品和要素流动型开放转向制度型开放,制度型开放的重心主要体现在规则、规制、管理、标准四个方面。规则领域的开放,主要是指与国际规则特别是高水平国际经贸规则对接;规制领域的开放,主要是指国家间法律法规的监管协调与一致性;管理,主要是指政府的行政服务效率对表国际先进水平;标准,主要是行业和产品标准的“引进来”和“走出去”。
高水平对外开放能否促进就业高质量发展是当下值得探讨的重要命题。文章使用熵权法测量省级层面就业质量,并探究双向投资对其产生的影响效应与门槛效应。研究表明:外商直接投资与就业质量呈“U”型关系;对外直接投资能够显著提升就业质量;双向投资对就业质量存在经济区位和前期就业质量水平上的异质性影响效应;城镇化、研发投入、人力资本、知识产权保护和金融发展水平不同,双向投资对就业质量呈差异化影响效应。根据研究结论,我国应当始终坚持高水平对外开放,按照经济区位、就业质量水平实施差异化投资战略,综合运用和发挥科技、社会条件的调节效应,以期实现就业高质量发展。
