题目：Dutch Disease Meets Fiscal Federalism: Study of Chinese Provinces
主办单位：betway体育、广州华南财富管理中心研究基地、中国家庭金融与资产管理研究中心、广东省普通高校创新团队项目 “投资管理、期权定价和风险管理”
主要内容
We study the determining factors of differences in price levels between Chinese provinces. We consider the pro- and anti-competitive roles of fiscal transfers on provincial price levels, while taking into account the standard macroeconomic determinants of price differences such as sectoral levels of productivity, inter-provincial migration levels, and the importance of agglomeration effects. We find that, on the net, fiscal transfers have generally lower relative price levels and in that sense the pro-competitive effects seem to be more significant. We speculate that this may be due to the important infrastructure-building projects that are part-funded by central government transfers have on improving the productive capacity, and the overall connectedness, of a given province.
