【摘要】In 1994, the Chinese government introduced a new fiscal system-the tax assignment system-to replace the old discretion-based system of revenue-sharing. Using this natural experiment and the dynamic provincial panel data during the following period 1995-2002, we find fiscal decentralization has a significant positive effect on the physical capital investment rate in both LSDV (Least squares dummy variables) regression and system GMM (Generalized method of moments) estimation that overcomes the endogeneity of fiscal decentralization. The results are robust to controlling for other variables, and province and time effects. The independence of the local governments is no free lunch. The local officials are not elected by the local constituents. Instead, the central government solely determines their appointment and thereby disciplines them by linking their promotion with the performance of the local economy. Therefore, it is rational for local officials to raise investment rate and thereby growth to maximize their chance of promotion, explaining our findings.
