   主题:Political Connections and the Biased Quality Inspection System: Evidences from Chinese National Surveillance Sampling
    摘要:This paper studies whether political connections distort the Chinese mandatory quality inspection system. The analysis shows that political connections significantly lower firms` probabilities of being inspected, but do not impact results of quality testing. The treatment effects of this distorted system are also analyzed. Compared with remaining uninspected, a firm`s market share increases significantly if it is inspected to be qualified, but varies insignificantly if it obtains a disqualified result. Based on the assumption that only low quality producers are eager to be protected, we explain this by the speculation that consumers, whenever forms beliefs of the sampling bias, lower their expectations on the average quality of the uninspected, leading to worsened adverse selection for these firms.
