摘要

我们通过研究2012年中国反腐运动对北京餐饮业的空间影响，展示了政治地理如何直接影响实际经济结果的证据，该运动严格限制了公职人员的奢侈消费。离政府办公地点较近的餐馆的消费需求相对下降。与竞选前相比，竞选后的场所分布不再集中在政府办公室周围，高端餐厅的数量也有所减少。我们的研究结果强调了政治地理作为一种强大的、空间上集中的需求驱动因素的作用及其对经济活动配置的影响。

JUE insight: Political geography and the spatial allocation of economic activity: Evidence from China’s anti-corruption campaign

We show evidence of how political geography directly shapes real economic outcomes by studying the spatial impact on Beijing’s restaurant sector of China’s 2012 anti-corruption campaign, which placed strict limits on lavish spending by public officials. Restaurants located closer to government offices experienced a relative decline in consumer demand. The post-campaign distribution of establishments was less spatially concentrated around government offices and had a smaller presence of high-end restaurants than before the campaign. Our results underscore the role of political geography as a potent, spatially concentrated driver of demand and its influence on the configuration of economic activities.
