Abstract: Abstract: The reason that China’s academy focus on quantities rather than quality is largely due to the fierce academic tournaments. As a strong incentive mechanism, tournaments can make researchers spent more time to academy. However, academy characterized as strong information asymmetric, once the academic quality can not be assessed accurately, tournaments turns into a pure quantity competition. This paper developed a two-stage competition model, and found that the true prosperity of China’s academy depends on the establishment of peer review and tenure mechanism.
