"Stakeholders in the Supply of Public Goods in Rural China"

Chen Dong, a Economics professor at China's Shandong University, will present a talk on the role of stakeholders and how they have created a shortage of public goods in the rural areas of China.

In recent years, the willingness and ability to supply public goods by multilevel governments, village cadres and farmers in rural China has been decreasing by various degrees. This speech attempts to focus on the behavioral characteristics of stakeholders as well as the game among them, thus to explain the fundamental reasons why there is a shortage in the supply of public goods in the rural area.

This talk will be presented in English.
