Politique de décentralisation et pouvoir de négociation en Chine

This paper provides a theoretical view of the central-local relationships in China. Decentralization and the autonomy of local governments have been a crucial element for the reform process. These intergovernmental …scal relations have been changing since 1978 and they are founded on a bargaining process. We propose a model, based on the Nash Bargaining Solution, to formalize some mecanisms of tax sharing. We try to understand the consequences of (horizontal and vertical) …scal competition on repartition of tax collection.
