论文摘要:We employ a unique dataset on Chinese firm registration to examine how hometown ties in political networks affect capital allocation. We use a quasi-experimental design that relies on the relocation of officials across Chinese cities. The results indicate that hometown ties between city party secretaries increase city-dyad investment by 10% and firm registrations by 1%. They also suggest the effects are greater between distant city pairs and stronger for investment by small firms. Additionally, entering firms survive for a longer time. Comparing the effects before and after the Chinese anti-corruption campaign, we provide suggestive evidence that these results reveal the rent-seeking activity by officials.
