It would be interesting to compare Beijing+Hebei to Shanghai+Zhejiang+Jiangsu. I believe the primate effect works the same way, but Hebei is significantly poorer most likely due to Beijing getting too many preference in policy making. (e.g. to mitigate the air pollution in Beijing let's shutdown factories in surrounding area)
- alephnerd 3y agoThere's been some research into this in China (comparative development was in fact the late Lee Kequiang's speciality). The issue is, research into stuff like this and converting it into actionable policy is becoming difficult, as mid and lower level civil servants don't want to deviate from a literal definition of policies or their mandate as administrations have become much more vindictive due to the economic slowdown. Research like this ends up stepping on people's toes. http://www.kjjb.org/EN/abstract/abstract18771.shtml http://www.kjjb.org/EN/abstract/abstract18771.shtml http://www.progressingeography.com/EN/10.18306/dlkxjz.2019.01.006 http://www.progressingeography.com/EN/10.18306/dlkxjz.2019.0... https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S187705092200151X https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S187705092... https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0264837718301339 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S02648...
