“…Higher levels of discretion raise firm uncertainty about expected returns, deterring firm formation among forward-looking entrepreneurs and making low-discretion jurisdictions more attractive. As such, reforms that reduce the discretion of state officials in the regulation of the private economy are an important component of 'market building' (Carroll and Jarvis 2013).…”

Government discretion: how high a barrier to entry for Chinese private enterprises?

A robust literature has demonstrated that de jure regulatory barriers to entry deter firm formation. This paper identifies the discretion available to government officials in tollbooth positions to establish barriers to entry as a de facto policy barrier which is an important source of uncertainty for Chinese entrepreneurs. Defining discretion as the share of provincial government revenue deriving from discretionary charges levied by government departments, I estimate the impact of discretion on the formation of Chinese domestic private enterprises. I find that a 1% decrease in discretion is associated with an additional private enterprise for every 10,000 provincial residents.

“…The article argues that capacity is not an a priori condition, but that it is a political and ideological construct that is produced as part of an expansionary capitalist logic. Stretching a Lefebvrian analysis beyond the dynamics of urbanisation, processes like market building, market deepening, and regional integration are shown to reproduce and reshape the 'realisable potential' of not just the emerging Cambodian market economy, but an emerging Cambodian market society (see Carroll & Jarvis, 2013, 2015.…”

Neoliberalising Cambodia: The Production of Capacity in Southeast Asia

The current Cambodian experience of re-integration into the regional and global economies reveals a process of violent neoliberal accumulation. Under the guise of clean, frictionless neoclassical economics, neoliberalism has reformulated the role of state and society. This article examines how notions of 'capacity' or 'capacity-building' reflect a commitment to this understanding of economic systems. Market building and deepening, which involve the expansion and regulation of 'capacities', are intrinsically tied to this commitment. It is argued that technocratic, administrative, and pseudo-scientific discursive acts are central to the production and reproduction of neoliberal agendas. This is evidenced by the complicit role of international financial institutions, the Cambodian state, civil society groups, and governance structures more generally. Yet the ever-deepening roll-out of neoliberalism in Cambodia is far from complete. What is evident is that this unique protoregulatory environment reveals the poverty that surrounds the call to increase or develop 'capacity'. Importantly, the article concludes that the whole process of producing space and capacity is not a neat and linear set of affairs. The world of abstractions and dominant discursive acts cannot completely subsume the lived experience of the everyday.
