First of all, I want to tell you that there is no "right rent-seeking", there is only "power rent-seeking", which means that people with power or public institutions seek rents from power (that is, rents that exceed the opportunity cost of power). earnings) behavior.
Reference material: Public administration related textbooks "Power rent-seeking" generally refers to officials at all levels of government or senior leaders of enterprises using their power to avoid various controls, regulations, and reviews, thereby "Power rent-seeking" is an activity that seeks or protects vested interests. As long as there is power and there is a lack of checks and balances on this power, rent-seeking is bound to occur if supervision is inadequate. As long as the supervision mechanism works and the fences that control power are firmly established, corruption can be prevented before it occurs. Corruption is a crime of a special nature, a crime that relies on government power and is the exclusive preserve of those with power. If the power of resource allocation is returned from the hands of officials to the market, the source of power of "money and power transactions" is eliminated, and the power rent-seeking chain of cadres, especially leading cadres, is cut off, it may be more effective in combating bribery and corruption than simply restricting power. More thorough. For example, through paid auction of car import licenses, the rental of imported car quotas will be owned by the government, which can not only increase public fiscal revenue, but also effectively eliminate market corruption in the quota allocation process. Distribution replaces administrative distribution, and the power of officials is canceled during the auction. The best way to eliminate power rent-seeking is to let officials "have nowhere to start" in the face of market economic interests. The biggest harm is to lead to corruption.
