利用中国地市一级的经验数据,实证检验了均衡性转移支付对中国地方公共服务供给效率的影响效应。研究发现:均衡性转移支付显著降低了地方公共服务供给效率,而专项转移支付在一定程度上有利于提高地方公共服务供给效率;均衡性转移支付分配的公平职能在强化,但"公平"与"效率"之间产生了替代作用;上述效应在均衡性转移支付的相对流入地更加显著。由此提出政策建议:中央政府应强化转移支付使用过程中的监督和质量考评,并设计适当的转移支付激励机制。
Based on data from city level,this paper empirically checks the effect of equalized fiscal transfer on productivity efficiency of public services.The result shows that the equalized fiscal transfer has obviously slowed down the productivity efficiency of local public services,while the earmarked transfer enhances the efficiency to some degree;the equity function of the equalized fiscal transfer is strengthened,but substitution effect appears between efficiency and fairness,which proved much evident in the areas mainly depending on equalized fiscal transfer.Consequently,this paper puts forward several policy suggestions,such as central government should strengthen the regulation and quality evaluation in the process of allocating fiscal transfer,and also draw up the incentive mechanism of fiscal transfer.
