Features: Kaufman and other economists from the World Bank have recently conducted a remarkable study, compiling data from nearly 100 countries to examine the strengths and weaknesses of government governance structures and compare the impact of government actions on a country's economic development. The World Bank's China office once invited Kaufman to give speeches to Chinese administrative units, academia, and financial media, but it did not generate much response. It is completely incomparable to the fervent enthusiasm that greeted the introduction of the "rent-seeking" theory back then. "Comparative" is willing to provide these two articles from two years ago to the readers again. Whether the indicator data of "government capture" still needs further refinement, it can still allow us to measure how well the government's role is being played based on these indicators. "Comparative" provides an academic platform for readers on comparative institutional analysis. "Comparative" stands at the forefront of theory, selectively introducing the experiences and lessons of other countries, the theories and practices of transition economies, and the developments in comparative research fields. At the same time, it targets specific introductions of theoretical and policy proposals on China's economic reform from academic circles both domestically and internationally, as well as comments and discussions.
