| Abstract | This paper mainly analyzes the governance of local officials under Chinese style decentralization. We make a breakthrough in modeling Zhou’s ideas by introducing the Contest Success Functions, and develop a generalized analytical framework which avoids the limitation of Zhou’s mathematical method. Our framework can effectively deal with Tao et al.’s query about the role of political network. Our studies focus mainly on the benchmark case and the extended case, and put forward four propositions in each case, respectively. Furthermore, we show how the central government chooses the optimal incentive strengths for economic development and other comparable jurisdictions, respectively. |
