Abstract: This paper focuses mainly on China's local governments' behavior patterns and the central government's control strategy from the perspective of multi-task principal-agent theory.Local governments not only exert cooperative efforts in line with the central government,but also exert selfish efforts not in line with the interests of the central government.The levels of cooperative and selfish efforts are indigenously determined by the incentive mechanism in a given political and economic system.The central government can both take appropriate compensation measures to raise the level of local governments' cooperative efforts,and take appropriate punishment measures to reduce the level of their selfish efforts.

Key words: local governments, control strategy, cooperative efforts, selfish efforts
