“…Apart from distributing patronage to local governments and officials based on social ties and personal connections (Persson and Zhuravskaya 2016; Jiang and Zhang 2020), provincial leaders need support from lower-level officials to secure their own careers against political uncertainty and risk (Shih 2008; Li and Liu 2016; Zhu and Zhang 2017). Moreover, many studies have noted that even in a country with strong state capacity like China, policy mandates from above still largely depend on lower-level officials, who can significantly influence policy implementation and its consequences by selectively conducting some policies while blocking others (O'Brien and Li 1999, Tsai 2006, Li and Zhang 2018). In other words, provincial authorities use land-fiscalization strategies to channel benefits downward to local governments and officials to boost local compliance and cooperation.…”

The Big Five model has been proven to be validated across different languages and cultures and is widely accepted in personality and social psychology literature [7,17,18].…”

“…The CFPS data contains rich information on personality traits and direct occupational status indicators. The paper measures one's personality traits with Big Five Model (Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Openness, and Neuroticism), which were introduced by McCrae and John [16] and are most commonly used in the recent psychology and economics literature [7,17,18].…”

“…Excessive investment in infrastructure has a crowding-out effect on innovative emerging industries and inhibits technological innovation activities (Tori & Onaran, 2018). Although the development of innovative industries reflects technological progress and can improve ecological efficiency, innovative industries have the characteristics of long investment cycles and large return uncertainty, such that local government officials do not choose to develop emerging industries to achieve political promotion (Li & Zhang, 2018). The government's excessive investment in infrastructure construction also has a negative impact on public service industries, such as education, technology, and medical care.…”
