Oi, the William Haas Professor in Chinese Politics, began her March 6 talk titled "Cow Pies and Democracy: Teaching in the Field," by laughingly apologizing for her word choice. "I still can't believe I chose that title, but I think it aptly describes what I do with my students," she said.]]>Fri, 21 Mar 2008 00:00:00 PSThttp://chinaprogram.stanford.edu/news/1475http://chinaprogram.stanford.edu/news/1338"We already have a strong BOSP program in Beijing at Peking University," Oi said in an email to The Daily.

In transitional economies, the scale of economic enterprise and the allocation of property rights shape social structures and influence income distribution. In agrarian economies, where labor-intensive family enterprises dominate, political officials income advantages decline rapidly relative to those of private entrepreneurs. Larger enterprises, however, provide greater income opportunities for officials, especially when a government retains an ownership stake in the initial phases of reform. This article replicates the findings from an earlier study of rural China using comparable survey data from Vietnam. We find that during the first two decades of rural market reform in Vietnam and China, the scale and ownership of firms differed radically. Small family enterprises dominated rural development in Vietnam, whereas Chinas development was dominated by larger firms, initially established by rural governments. Consequently, while cadre income advantages have kept pace with those of private entrepreneurs in China, they have declined rapidly in Vietnam.]]>Fri, 06 Jun 2008 10:40:00 PSThttp://chinaprogram.stanford.edu/publications/22155http://chinaprogram.stanford.edu/publications/22048University of Hong Kong Centre of Asian Studies: "Development and Change in China", 1981
