摘要:
This paper examines the societal consequences of patronage ties, the informal personal connections between individuals unequal in their power. I provide empirical evidence that these connections create social vulnerabilities that magnify the impact of negative shocks. Specifically, I study the aftermath of the devastating 2008 Sichuan earthquake, which offers an opportunity to bring to light vulnerabilities that remain invisible in most states of the world. Using an original dataset that covers 1,065 buildings in the quake-affected area, I find that buildings constructed when the county officials had connections to their superiors at the prefecture level (in terms of having the same hometown) are 13 percentage points (83 percent) more likely to collapse relative to the no-connection benchmark. I find suggestive evidence that the effects likely reflect a lack of building code enforcement due to shirking or rent-seeking by connected officials. Aggregated damage statistics at the county level suggest that one additional year of having a connected official is associated with an 8 percent increase in mortality and a 3 percent increase in direct economic loss from the earthquake. These findings add to the long-standing debate on whether patronage is socially detrimental by highlighting a latent cost that is hard to observe in the absence of negative shocks.
