摘要:这篇文章考察了规制者与企业之间的政企合谋如何影响了中国煤矿企业的生产安全。我们认为,分权导致政企合谋更加容易,并且当合谋的交易费用更低时这种效应更加明显。通过分析分权与规制者的个人特征,本文检验了上述假说。利用煤矿领域的分权和集权改革,我们发现:分权带来了更高的矿难死亡率。进一步,死亡率的增加对那些有更低交易费用(用籍贯度量)的规制者来说更明显。
 
Decentralization, Collusion and Coalmine Deaths

Abstract—This paper investigates how collusion between regulators and firms affects workplace safety using the case of China’s coal mine deaths. We argue that decentralization makes collusion more likely and that its effect is strengthened if the transaction costs of collusion are lower. These hypotheses are tested by investigating the impact of decentralization con- tingent on regulators’ characteristics. Exploring both decentralization and centralization reforms in the coal mine industry, we find that decentraliza- tion is correlated with an increase in coal mine death rates. Moreover, this increase in mortality is larger for the regulators with lower transaction costs (proxied by the locality of origin).
