Game between Village Cadres and Villagers in Rural Collective Income Distribution

During the distribution of rural collective resources and income, both village cadres and villagers seek to maximize their own interests. When village cadres try to get more benefits by making use of administrative resources, villagers will confront against the seizure of village cadres. With rising confrontation cost, limited channels of appeal and little or no support from superior authorities, the interests of villagers are vulnerable and villagers tend to protect their own interests by convening a villagers´ assembly to decide on a distribution plan.
