摘要：Since the tax-sharing reform in 1994, the Chinese fiscal system has exhibited significant expenditure decentralization and revenue recentralization at the local levels. Using a large fiscal dataset at the county level from 1998 to 2006, this paper studies the effects of fiscal decentralization on local economic growth in general. Moreover, we examine how China’s current fiscal regime influences the industrial structure of the local economy through incentivized government behavior.
