Abstract: Intergovernmental fiscal transfers are crucial for local economic development. However, the allocation of these transfers has always been shadowed by concerns of corruption and cronyism, especially in developing countries. This paper combines reduced-form causal evidence with a quantitative spatial model to quantify the welfare impacts of political connection driven allocation of fiscal transfer in China. We observe a significant impact of workplace and alumni ties between local and central officials on the allocation of fiscal resources across regions. The re-allocation effect of political connection improved the national welfare, but led to a larger income inequality across regions, which is against the interregional equalization objection of fiscal transfer. We also investigate the optimal distribution of the fiscal transfer and find that it would increase China’s GDP by 4.1%.
