+1 on Invisible China. Scott Rozelle's group at the FSI has been doing some good work on trying to alleviate the opportunity gap that exists in several prefectures in the PRC.

Xi Jinping know this problem all along. And his poverty eradication project is essentially siphoning embezzled fund from corrupted officials into rural areas.
I bet Xi Jinping knows research work in the similar lines of Invisible China.

Rozelle's group at Stanford has consulted at the prefecture level with the CCP [0]. The PRC is de facto federal with a significant amount of leeway at the prefecture (state) level. In fact, a number of PRC policy initiatives are often done in coordination with research groups at Stanford University. The Guiding Cases [1] is another ministerial level initiative that Stanford has consulted on.
Nice, first time learn this, thanks!
