CHINA-EDUCATION

 A recent paper from America’s National Bureau of Economic Research by Juan Carlos Suárez Serrato and Xiao Yu Wang of Duke University and Shuang Zhang of University of Colorado, Boulder, found a relationship between GDP growth in an official’s administrative jurisdiction and subsequent promotion. Researching population data and examining data on 967 mayors in 28 provinces from 1985 to 2000, the researchers found that officials who claimed to have suppressed population growth were rewarded. They claimed that Mayors who reduced the local birth rate by one child per 1,000 people per year by their own count had a 10% greater chance of being promoted.
