Comments on CCER conference
by Huihua NIE (Renmin University)
It’s my pleasure to give some comments. My interest fields are contract theory and new institutional economics, so maybe I can’t provide professional suggestions for Prof. Renard and Prof. Yao. I just talk about my opinions on their topics.
My first comment for Prof. Renard. The process of Chinese reform is the process from planning economy to market economy, so market integration is not only the drive force to modernization, but also the endogenous object for China government. Prof. Renard has pointed out the importance and challenge of market integration in China. But the problem is, economic efficiency requires market integration, but political competition between regions may tend to market protection. Because the nature of political game for local governments is zero-sum game. In politics, some officers go up, but some officers go down or even go out. Therefore, there is a conflict between market integration and market disintegration. In order to eliminate the market disintegration problem, central government must tightly control local governments, which will lead to more centralized political authority and less democracy. So I think how China government trade off between economic incentives and political incentives is a huge challenge.
