SUMMARY:Development and political economy seminar - David Yang

DESCRIPTION:Many governments have engaged in policy experimentation in vari
 ous forms to resolve uncertainty and facilitate learning. However\, little 
 is understood about the characteristics of policy experimentation\, and how
  the structure of experimentation may affect policy learning and policy out
 comes. We aim to describe and understand China's policy experimentation sin
 ce 1980\, among the largest and most systematic in recent history. We colle
 ct comprehensive data on policy experimentation conducted in China over the
  past four decades. We find that\, while experimentation outcomes strongly 
 predict whether policies roll out nationally\, the experimentation exhibits
  two characteristics that complicate policy learning. First\, about 90% of 
 the experiments exhibit positive sample selection in terms of a locality’
 s economic development. Second\, promotion-driven local politicians allocat
 e more resources to ensure the experiments' success\, and such effort is no
 t replicable when policies roll out to the entire country. The presence of 
 sample selection and strategic effort is not fully accounted for by the cen
 tral government\, affecting policy learning and distorting national policie
 s originating from the experimentation. Taken together\, these results sugg
 est that\, while China’s bureaucratic and institutional conditions make p
 olicy experimentation possible at an unparalleled scale\, the complex polit
 ical environments can also limit the scope and bias the direction of policy
  learning.\\n\\nContact: Timothée Demont : timothee.demont[at]univ-amu.fr
