University of Pittsburgh ii Copyright © by Yi Han 2020 iii Essays in Development and Behavioral Economics Yi Han, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2020 Along with the reduction in transportation costs in the last two centuries, institu- tional trade barriers have become increasingly important obstacles to further market in- tegration. In Chapter 1, I examine the impact of a policy reform in China that removed inter-regional administrative trade barriers by incorporating counties into prefectures with a larger market. Using a difference-in-differences approach, I compare incorpo- rated counties, both before and after the reform, to two novel control groups: counties that applied for incorporation but failed and counties that were incorporated several years later. I find that the reform immediately and persistently increased the economic growth of incorporated counties. Several sources of evidence suggest that treated coun- ties experienced relatively rapid growth because they became more integrated into the domestic market. In Chapter 2, using data from the one-child policy in China (OCP), Yiming Liu and I provide first field evidence for responsibility-shifting through delega- tion. We compare the impact of the OCP on parents who experienced it during Phase I when local governments were the enforcer, versus Phase II when the enforcement was delegated to civilians by incentivizing them to report neighbors’ violations. We find, con- sistent with responsibility-shifting, exposure to the OCP in Phase I reduces people’s trust in local governments, but exposure to it in Phase II only reduces people’s trust in neigh- bors, not their trust in local governments. In chapter 3, George Loewenstein, Yiming Liu and I designed an online experiment to investigate correspondence bias - when draw- ing inferences about a person’senduring characteristics from her actions, people tend to overly emphasize the role of the person’senduring characteristics and underestimate the influence of transient situational factors. We build a simple model to formalize this bias and test the predictions of the model. We find evidence of the existence of correspon- dence bias. Moreover, we show experiencing the games by oneself instead of observing it reduces the bias, and providing counterfactual information on how the benign-game iv (malign-game) player behaves in the malign-game (benign-game) eliminates it. Keywords: Market integration, Local protectionism, Delegation, Responsibility- shifting, Correspondence bias. v Table of Contents 1.0 Administrative Barriers, Market Integration and Economic Growth:

  • Test of Our Vision: a Conversation
    The Bishan Project is one of China’s boldest social experiments in recent years. For six years – from 2010 to 2016 – the rural reconstruction and practical utopian commune project ran its course in Bishan, a small village in the Anhui Province. The invitations the project received for exhibition and presentation abroad incited a national 01/15 debate in China. ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊThe texts collected in Ou Ning’s Utopia in Practice: Bishan Project and Rural Reconstruction (2020) describe and criticize the social problems caused by China’s overzealous urbanization process. These discourses on contemporary agrarianism and agritopianism resist the doctrines of modernism and Hou Hanru and Ou Ning developmentalism that have dominated China for more than a century, and respond to a global desire for alternative social solutions – in theory Test of Our and action – to today’s environmental and political crises.1 Vision: A ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊFrom May 25–29, Ou Ning and Hou Hanru carried out the following conversation about the Conversation book on WeChat – between Briançon, Provence- Alpes-Cte d’Azur, France, and Jingzhou, Hubei Province, China. ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ*** ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊHou Hanru: Hi, Ou Ning! In this very strange and challenging lockdown period, I had the chance to read through most of your new book.

The Impact of Intranational Trade Barriers on Exports: Evidence from a Nationwide VAT Rebate Reform in China Jie Bai and Jiahua Liu NBER Working Paper No. 26581 December 2019 JEL No. F14,F15,O14 ABSTRACT It is well known that various forms of non-tariff trade barriers exist within a country. Empirically, it is difficult to measure these barriers as they can take many forms. We take advantage of a nationwide VAT rebate policy reform in China as a natural experiment to identify the existence of these intranational barriers due to local protectionism and study the impact on exports and exporting firms.

    Workforce migration and its economic implications: A perspective from social media in China Xiaoqian Hu1, Junjie Wu1;2 and Jichang Zhao1;2;? 1School of Economics and Management, Beihang University 2Beijing Advanced Innovation Center for Big Data and Brain Computing, Beihang University ?Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract The workforce remains the most basic element of social production, even in modern societies. Its migration, especially for developing economies such as China, plays a strong role in the re- allocation of productive resources and offers a promising proxy for understanding socio-economic issues. Nevertheless, due to long cycle, expensive cost and coarse granularity, conventional surveys face challenges in comprehensively profiling it. With the permeation of smart and mobile devices in recent decades, booming social media has essentially broken spatio-temporal constraints and enabled the continuous sensing of the real-time mobility of massive numbers of individuals. In this study, we demonstrate that similar to a natural shock, the Spring Festival culturally drives workforce travel between workplaces and hometowns, and the trajectory footprints from social media therefore open a window with unparalleled richness and fine granularity to explore laws in national-level workforce migration. To understand the core driving forces of workforce migration flux between cities in China, various indicators reflecting the benefits and costs of migration are in- troduced into our prediction model. We find that urban GDP (gross domestic product) and travel time are two excellent indicators to help make predictions. Diverse migration patterns are then arXiv:1803.07509v2 [cs.SI] 26 Mar 2018 revealed by clustering the trajectories, which give important clues to help understand the different roles of Chinese cities in their own development and in regional economic development.

  • In Tang Poetry TH Barrett SOAS, Emeritus
    British Journal of Chinese Studies, Vol. 10, July 2020 ISSN 2048-0601 © British Association for Chinese Studies Zen and the “Image” in Tang Poetry T. H. Barrett SOAS, Emeritus Abstract Poetry based upon the presentation of a striking image has been familiar in English for over a century; in China it is much older, and in the second half of the eighth century it was already being discussed using the word jingjie 境界 or simply jing. While the Buddhist overtones of this term have been noted, the degree to which it was widely used in a discourse of meditation that stretched well beyond the scholastic works of the Buddhist clergy has not. Meditation as a source of unbidden images would seem to be part of a late eight century and early ninth century interest in the wellsprings of poetic creativity also manifest in discourse about intoxication and poetry. While there is no direct connection with Anglophone interest in Imagism, a possible indirect connection via Japanese and French may be worth investigating in the future. Keywords: Ezra Pound, Imagism, Chan (Zen) and poetry, Wang Wei, meditation and poetry. The purpose of the title of this piece is to suggest that behind the bland exterior of the average medieval Chinese poem (at least in English translation) there may lurk processes of composition entirely unsuspected by the modern reader, aspects of the Tang poem that might repay greater study. This approach – namely meditation as a method of creative inspiration – was far from universal in the poetry of the Tang period, since it seems to have arisen within specific historical circumstances, and though references to it remained and were handed down to later ages in widely read works, it is at present unclear how actively it was practised in later times.
