The market reform in China has resulted in widespread practice of rent seeking. Economic rents are created when the state regulates market entry, imposes tariffs, allocates investment, and rations bank credits. State agents exchange rents with enterprises for private gains or parochial interests. The workshop compares rent seeking across different economic sectors and seeks to locate the political and institutional factors in shaping rent-seeking politics.
