DP21814 Meritocracy and the Networks It Forged: China's Imperial Examination
English Français Deutsch Italiano 中文 More Español Ελληνικά 日本語 Português Türkçe Institutions that claim to reward merit often also serve as engines that drive the formation of important social networks. We examine this dual role in China’s Imperial Examination, one of history’s longest-lived meritocratic systems. We draw on exam performance data for 24,269 individuals across 112 national examinations in the Qing dynasty (1644–1905) and trace who among them rose to become top officials.

Ying Bai acknowledges financial support from the University Grants Committee/Research Grants Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, China (project no. AoE/B- 704/22-R).
