利用我国2006-2012年省级面板数据,实证检验财政分权、信息公开对官员腐败行为的影响。研究发现,财政分权与信息公开两个微观制度环境因素均对抑制官员腐败发挥了积极作用,市场化程度与法律环境两个宏观制度环境因素虽然对官员腐败没有直接影响,但在一定程度上弱化了财政分权与信息公开对官员腐败的抑制效应。研究表明,作用于政府层面的微观制度环境能够直接影响官员腐败行为,而政府之外的宏观制度环境构成了官员腐败行为选择的外部土壤,能够在一定程度上掩盖微观制度环境对官员腐败的影响效应。研究还发现,提升地方人口素质、扩大政府规模、完善财政支出结构、适当运用"高薪养廉"也能在一定程度上抑制官员腐败。
Using the provincial panel data from 2006 to 2012,this empirical study tests the effect of the fiscal decentralization and the information disclosure on the official corruption. The study finds that the fiscal decentralization and the information disclosure,which are two factors in the microenvironment,play a positive role in preventing the official corruption. However,the degree of marketization and the legal environment,which are two macro-environmental factors,although having no direct effect on the official corruption,to some extent weaken the inhibitory effect of the fiscal decentralization and the information disclosure. The study indicates that the micro environment at the governmental level can directly affect the official corruption,while the macro-level institutional environment beyond the governmental level constitutes the external soil for the corruption,which conceals the impact of micro-institutional environment on official corruption. The study also finds that to enhance the quality of the local population,to expand the size of government,to improve the structure of fiscal expenditure,and the proper use of high salary,can prevent the official corruption to some extent.
