Book excerpt: I treat both central and local governments as rational decision-makers that interacted with each other strategically within a principal-agent framework. Both central and local governments had their own agendas, and they tried to maximize their interests. Unable to fully control the local agent, the central principal needed to construct an optimal incentive structure to reconcile the often-conflicting central and local interests and to achieve an optimal outcome for both parties.
