摘要：This paper empirically identifies fiscal decentralization’s casual effect on economic development in transitional China from 1985 to 1992. In 1985, China’s central government re-arranged its fiscal contract with each province. Our approach exploits this exogenous shock to instrument county-level fiscal decentralization. We find that fiscal decentralization promotes China’s county-level industrial output. Further examinations suggest that the entry of private and FDI enterprises might be the potential mechanism.
