Title: How Do Individual Politicians Affect Privatization? Evidence from China

Abstract:
This paper investigates how local politicians affect privatization implementations and the outcomes in China. I find that older local politicians with higher education and working experience in state-owned enterprises (SOEs) tend to do more privatizations. Overall, privatizations increase firm efficiency and productivity which help local politicians’ career advancements under the GDP tournaments in China. Politically powerful politicians with higher promotion chances have less desire for local GDP numbers and do more rent-seeking during privatization. This leads to worse outcomes of privatizations conducted by these powerful local politicians. I employ the regression discontinuity design by using the compulsory retirement age of members of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China as exogenous shocks to their connected local politicians’ political power.
