Since the 1990s, China’s massive wave of population shift has become a unique landscape in the reform of China’s social and economic structure. As a reallocation of labor and human capital, this shift of population has on one hand emerged with the great transformation of social and economic structure. In the meantime, over the past 30 years, rent-seeking activities were rampant and in the traditional theory of rent-seeking, it is believed that rent-seeking will reduce the growth of economic. In this case, it is as if rent-seeking activities is going hand in hand with the economic growth. This article aims at studying from the angle of rent-seeking and the flow of talents, hence building an endogenous career choice model for trade-offs between producers and rent-seekers. Meanwhile assuming talent flows only emerge in economically developed regions and economically less developed regions, then bind them together to study the growth of economic.
