Public Concerns and Policy Representation:An Analysis of Administrative Policies in China from Attention Perspective
This article focuses on the policy representation of Chinese government.It endeav-ors to examine the way Chinese government responds to the Public from the perspective of attention allocation.To do so,we drawn data from China's State Council Gazette(2011-2020)and built a dataset consisted of 21 policy topics.The analysis shows that:a)The government is significantly more responsive on issues associated with the Public's livelihood(such as health,education,com-munity and housing)than on other issues.b)There is a lagged effect in the policy response to the public concerns on the agricultural issues.c)There are both spillover effect and trade-off effect re-garding to the government's attention allocation.These findings are consistent with the previous scholars'research and enrich the research of policy representation in China from an attention alloca-tion perspective.
