April 10, 2008 4:30pm to 6:00pm
How do we understand the increasing roles that guanxi plays in China's transitional economy? Sociologist Yanjie Bian proposes a theoretical model in which the role of guanxi is a function of institutional uncertainty and market competition. He tests the empirical implications of this model by analyzing surveys on job mobility and the growth of economic enterprises from 1978 to 2003.
