Citations in the corpus
- Target Setting in Tournaments: Theory and Evidence from China (2018, unknown): “In reality, a leader with the best economic performance will not necessarily get promoted because there are other factors such as political loyalty and political connections (Jia et al., 2015).”
- Special Deals with Chinese Characteristics (2019, background): “Jia, Kudamatsu, and Seim (2015) find that political connections and economic performance are complements in terms of promotion in the party hierarchy.”
- Does Performance Matter? Evaluating Political Selection Along the Chinese Administrative Ladder (2018, background): “Our results differ from Jia, Kudamatsu, and Seim (2015), and the discrepancies are mainly due to differences in sample coverage, measurements of economic performance and political connection, and model specifications.”
- Patronage and Selection in Public Sector Organizations (2020, unknown): “…on negative selection of politically connected public sector workers do point towards a potential source of inefficiency, but performance as a public sector worker is a function of selection as well as incentives (Jia et al., 2015; Xu, 2018), and our analysis cannot causally investigate the latter.”
- Social Ties and the Selection of China’s Political Elite (2020, background): “We focus primarily on three recent studies that we see as representing the most credible efforts at documenting the link between social connections and promotion: Shih, Adolph, and Liu (2012); Jia, Kudamatsu, and Seim (2015); and Francois, Trebbi, and Xiao (2016).”
- GDP management to meet or beat growth targets (2018, background): “The sensitivity of a Chinese provincial governor’s career to economic performance may hinge on his/her connection to the central government (Jia et al., 2013).”
