摘要
在中国经济转型的进程中,财政分权作为一项重要的制度设计为地方政府促进经济发展的努力提供了激励,但同时也带来了诸如非经济性公共品供给不足等问题。采用各省市1994-2006年的资料,本文研究了财政分权背景下地方政府的科技支出行为。理论和实证研究表明,地方政府的科技支出决策呈现出策略性行为特征。总体而言,财政分权促进了地方财政中科技的投入,地区间竞争的压力削弱了财政分权对科技投入的正向作用,而市场化的发展进一步强化了分权下地方政府提高科技投入的倾向。根据上述结果,本文认为应完善对于官员的考核制度,提高科技政策的权威性,加大对地方政府预算监督的力度,并积极推进政府职能的转变。
During the process of China＇s transition, fiscal decentralization provides effective incentives to local government, and meanwhile causes many problems including shortage of non-economic public goods. This paper attempts to study how local governments make S＆T expenditure decision. Using provincial data from 1994 -2006, the theoretical analysis and empirical results indicate, local governments adopt strategic implementation to make benefit maximization. In general, fiscal decentralization promotes the provision of S＆T, competition among local governments plays a negative interaction effect, and marketizaton strengthens the positive relationship between fiscal decentralization and S＆T input. Based on above findings, this paper suggests improving official＇s appraisal system, enhancing the effectiveness of S＆T policies, strengthening monitoring of local government＇s budget, and advancing the change of government function.
