Implementation of China's Double Reduction Policy in Provinces

LIN, MINGTONG created a dataset calculating the implementation rate of China's dual-reduction education policy using the PMC index. The data records provincial policy indicators such as policy interval, public attention, per-student funding, and enrollment rate. It was last updated on May 11, 2026, and is hosted by Harvard Dataverse.

Use Cases

• Compare provincial policy implementation rates based on the PMC index.
• Analyze the relationship between public attention (news) and policy implementation.
• Model the effect of per-student funding on enrollment rates across provinces.
• Track policy interval (in days) as a measure of administrative efficiency.

Strengths

• Dataset includes a calculated policy implementation rate using the established PMC index.
• Records multiple policy indicators per province, including funding and enrollment data.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
