摘要：
This paper uses newly digitized records to study the effects of bureaucratization on effective governance. It finds that county-level environmental bureaucracies successively established in China since the late 1970s significantly lowers measured pollution. Variation in politician or director quality does not drive the effect. Fieldwork and quantitative comparative evidence indicate that institutional independence, a single-task mandate, grassroots embeddedness, and mission-driven officials are key to such effectiveness. Pollution declines through strengthened policy implementation and environment-friendly transition without harming economic performance. The findings shed light on how technocratic bureaucracy builds state capacity, a domain that needs more rigorous empirical evidence.

摘要：
Electricity perishes immediately, making production highly sensitive to power supply fluctuations. Beyond cross-regional transmission, power systems worldwide are increasingly turning to storage techniques. In this paper, we exploit the rollout of pumped-storage hydropower (PSH)—the largest form of localized power storage infrastructure—to study its impact on firm production. Using a staggered difference-in-differences design, we show that access to PSH increases production by 15.1%. Mechanism analyses indicate that PSH reduces power uncertainty and smooths within-year production volatility. The production response may reflect fundamental changes in production expectations, as further evidence shows the affected firms expand long-term investment and increase the use of permanent labor. In aggregate, localized energy solutions have meaningful implications for regional economic development.
