土地资源配置是城市可持续发展的关键问题，但它受到公共治理的变幻莫测的影响。我们以地方腐败一把手被起诉作为冲击事件，通过对2006年至2016年中国地级市官员落马和土地流转数据的挖掘，分析了地方要员腐败下台后土地供给的变化。通过DID框架识别策略的测算表明，地方官员下台后，土地出让数量和金额均大幅下降，其中土地出让总额的影响更大。我们还发现，土地供应的减少主要来自商业和住宅用地，但随着地方领导人下台，公共用地供应增加，土地供应市场化程度提高，工业用地低价出让减少。此外，还调查了不同官员级别和类型的影响的异质性，并证实了这种影响的长期持续性。本文通过证明反腐败措施对官员随后的土地供应策略具有持续的纪律作用，强调公共治理的质量深刻影响土地市场的运作。
The allocation of land resources is a crucial issue in sustainable urban development, but it is subject to the vagaries of public governance. By using the prosecution of corrupt local leaders as the shock event, and exploring the data on sacked officials and land transfers in prefecture-level cities in China from 2006 to 2016, we analyse the changes in the supply of land in response to the ousting of key local officials for corruption. The estimations derived through the identification strategy of the DID framework show that both the volume and value of land sales dropped significantly after the local officials’ ousting, with the value of total land sales reacting to a much greater extent. We also found the reduction of land supply was mainly from commercial and residential land but a greater supply of land for public use following the local leaders’ ousting, accompanied with an increase in the level of marketisation in the supply of land and a reduction in cheap transfers of industrial land. In addition, the heterogeneity of the effect across the rank and type of official was investigated, and the long-term persistence of this effect was confirmed. By showing that anti-corruption measures have a persistent disciplinary effect on officials’ subsequent land supply strategy, this paper underscores that the quality of public governance profoundly influences the functioning of the land market.
