A stochastic derivation of the ratio form of contest success functions

This note provides a distribution-based justification for the ratio form of contest success functions (CSFs), in which a player’s success depends positively on her effort relative to that of her opponents. I show that the inverse exponential distribution of the random shocks yields the ratio form. Extending this approach to asymmetric contests, I also derive an asymmetric ratio form of CSFs.

Competing for father's love? The politics of central government agency termination in China

It is well known that public agencies are nearly immortal, but what explains their termination? This article argues that apart from conventional antecedents, political salience defined by top leaders largely shapes government agencies' life cycle. In one of the first large‐N analyses of agency termination in a non‐Western authoritarian regime, we used longitudinal data for the central apparatus in China from 1949 to 1976 to test this hypothesis. We specifically used Chairman Mao's written directives to measure political salience and found that agencies that received more directives were less likely to be terminated. In contrast, agencies less attended to the boss were less likely to survive major restructurings. We also found that peripheral agencies (e.g., smaller, lower‐ranking agencies with noncore functions) benefited more from leaders' attention. We compare the results with the existing literature and suggest some theoretical and policy implications.

城乡一体化进程中国家法与民间法的冲突及协调

民间法是经过长期的历史积淀所形成的道德习俗、社会规范被逐渐制度化且相对稳定的一种通行做法。民间法仍然被很多农村群众所认可,农民更多的愿意在自身的生活空间中寻求一种秩序,因而国家的法律法令就很难真正地深入到农民的生活中去。国家需要一套协调机制来解决国家法律政策与民间法所存在的冲突与对峙,以对地方传统风俗的有益部分进行法律变通,以促进国家法与民间法的融合。
