Minimum Performance Target as a Response to Multitasking Problems: Theory and Evidence from China's Air Pollution Controls时间：2022年9月28日(周三)11:30-13:00地点：承泽园245主讲人：曹光宇（北京大学经济学院）参与老师：（国发院）李力行，席天扬，徐化愚，于航，王轩，易君健（光华） 张晓波（经院） 刘冲，吴群锋论文摘要：This paper examines how local Chinese officials respond to minimum air pollution control targets and make trade-offs between economic development and environmental protection. Using a novel prefecture-day level dataset on air quality and applying a regression discontinuity design, we find strong evidence that air quality tends to improve when the air quality target is doomed to fail, but deteriorates significantly after the early fulfillment of the target is guaranteed. These responses are mainly driven by "outsiders" – local officials who had no previous working experience in the locality and probably valued the local environment less. We also find evidence that for those cities facing a higher pressure of local economic development, the improvement in air quality performance after doomed failure will be weakened while the deterioration in air quality performance after early fulfillment will be more severe. We build a simple theoretical model to rationalize these key findings. Our study sheds light on how minimum air quality targets have functioned in China’s context and highlights the role of minimum performance targets in balancing efforts at environmental protection and economic development.主讲人简介：曹光宇，北京大学经济学院财政学系助理教授。他于2020年获得北京大学经济学博士学位，于2020-2022年任北京大学-普林斯顿大学国际联合博士后研究员。他的主要研究领域为公共经济学和数字经济。研究成果发表在《经济研究》和RAND Journal of Economics等国内外期刊，主持国家自然科学基金青年科学基金项目、中国博士后科学基金面上项目。我们将为同学们提供午餐，请线下参加workshop并需要订餐的同学点击链接报名：https://www.wjx.cn/vm/Yd0kZJa.aspx，报名截止时间为下周一（9月26日）晚上24点前，请大家报名后尽量参加，避免浪费。
