摘要
以2007年四川省177个县级行政单位为样本,考察县级政府政府规模与经济发展水平、常住人口数量、管辖区域面积之间的关系。研究结果表明,经济发展水平、常住人口数量、管辖区域面积三大因素对县级政府规模存在不同程度的影响。因此,在优化县级政府规模过程中,要充分考虑影响县级政府规模的这些因素,进而为确立合理的政府规模提供有价值的政策建议。
Based on the literature review on influential factors of government size,this paper takes the data of 177 county-level administrative units in Sichuan Province in 2007 to analyze the impacts of economic development,population,geographic size and other factors on government size. In this paper,a U-model is built to prove that financial resources per capita is positively correlated with government size,that the relation between population and government size is U-shaped,and that the relation between geographic size and government size is inverted U-relationship. Therefore,it proves that there is scale of economy in the county-level government size in Sichuan Province and the point of inflexion of scale of economy is calculated to help make further development decisions. It is necessary for county-level governments to take scale of economy into consideration when making decision and then to optimize county-level government size.
