Abstract:

We collected the detail information of each deal of stateowned industrial land conveyance from http://wwwlandchinacom and then obtained the citylevel panel data during 2007 and 2011. Employing the tools of the spatial econometrics, we find that there are rat races to compete for investment by supplying industrial land among the cities with similar scale of economy, especially the giant ones in one province. That is, all of them try to supply more industrial land with higher ratio of agreementgranted land. Meanwhile, besides the jurisdictional endowments, individual political endowments of the secretaries also have some significant impact on how the industrial land is conveyed by the city governments. These results imply that the competition for investment by supplying industrial land among local governments are rooted in the political promotion competition among the local leaders.

Key words: industrial land conveyance , promotion competition , jurisdictional competition
