Quantifying Chinese Village Leaders′ Multiple Objectives
利用村级数据估计一个含多属性效用函数的控制模型，量化村干部各项目标的相对重要性，发现他们优先关注乡村工业化以谋取个人利益和摆脱上级控制，同时也关心村庄福利和农业生产力。
Using village-level data, parameters of a control model, containing a multi-attribute utility function, are estimated econometrically to quantify the relative importance of leaders′ various objectives. The results suggest that leaders are preoccupied with rural industrialization to further personal gain and independence from higher authorities. They are concerned about village welfare and maintaining agricultural productivity. J. Comp. Econom., February 1994, 18(1), pp. 25-45.
