Abstract：This study investigates formation and break of companies' political connection over local political cycles in China. I document following findings. First, Companies differ considerably in their degree of political connection. On average, capital intensivecompanies have more politically connected top leaders as board members or executives in total number, in ratio, and in salary compensation. Second, over the local political cycles, political connection by different indicators of capital intensive companies increase with the tenure of prefectural secretaries of the CCP. The political connection indicators reach a peak in year four. Third, there is re-allocation of political connection across industries over the local political cycles. As the tenure of the prefectural secretaries rises, the political connection of the capital intensive companies increases while that of the labour intensive ones decreases. Consequently, both the effective VAT rate and credit allocation change in favour of the capital intensive firms, while to the detriment of the labour intensive counter-parts. The findings suggest that the building of political connection is frictional and takes time, and that the capital intensive firms are more liable to hold-up by local politicians and more likely to resort to political connection for protection.
