财政分权、晋升激励与经济高质量发展

Fiscal Decentralization, Promotion Incentive and High-Quality Economic Development

以财政分权制度为逻辑起点,基于我国现期的经济社会发展背景,深入考察财政分权与晋升激励对经济高质量发展的作用机理与影响机制。以2008—2017年30个省级行政单位面板数据为基础,运用空间计量模型方法进行实证分析。研究发现,无论从支出角度还是收入角度进行衡量,财政分权均可以显著提升我国经济增长质量,但晋升激励制度却降低了我国经济增长质量。在晋升激励制度背景下,财政收入分权总体上促进了我国经济高质量发展,财政支出分权则正好相反。进一步分析发现,财政分权与晋升激励对我国经济高质量发展的影响不仅具有区域异质性,而且对国家经济增长质量不同维度的作用也呈现出显著的差异性。

Based on the development status of China’s politics and economy,this paper took fiscal decentralization as a logical starting point,and deeply studied the mechanism of fiscal decentralization and promotion incentive affecting high-quality economic development.Combined with the panel data of 30 provincial administrative units in China from 2008 to 2017,this paper used a spatial econometric analysis method to make an empirical investigation.The measurements from both expenditure perspective and income perspective showed that,fiscal decentralization could significantly improve the quality of China’s economic growth,but promotion incentive system had reduced the quality of economic growth.Under the background of promotion incentive system,fiscal revenue decentralization had promoted the high-quality development of China’s economy on the whole,while fiscal expenditure decentralization just acted as the opposite.Further analysis showed that,the mentioned effect was regionally heterogeneous,which also differed in each dimension of national economic growth quality.
