This study investigates the effects of introducing elections on public goods and redistribution in rural
China. We collect a large and unique survey to document the history of political reforms and economic
policies and exploit the staggered timing of the introduction of elections for causal identification. We
find that elections significantly increase public goods expenditure, the increase corresponds to demand
and is paralleled by an increase in public goods provision and local taxes. We also find that elections
cause significant income redistribution within villages. The results support the basic assumptions of
recent theories of democratization (Acemoglu and Robinson, 2000; Lizzeri and Persico, 2004). In
addition, we show that the main mechanism underlying the effect of elections is increased leader incentives.

Development economics sound interesting! I would recommend to read "The Accidental Theorist" written by Nobel Prize Winner Paul Krugman.

Good stuff and perfect timing. Thanks to the poster!!!  However, my intuition is much against the favor of the research---democracy (villiage election) is the cause of the increase in public expenditure???? Let's see how it is proved...

BTW, Landlord, do you have any tips on how to get the VDS data??? Desperately need it for my research on assessing the impact of abolishing Agricultural Tax on public goods provision in rural China...
