公共决策中的利益冲突和信息披露

Interests Conflict and Information Revelation in Public Decision-Making

公共政策影响到各方面群体的利益,而有组织的利益集团可以通过游说来影响公共政策。他们可以在政策制定过程中提供相关的信息,也可以与政策的相关部门形成某种利益纽带。健全的公共决策机制需要同时激励信息披露和控制政策偏向,而合理的信息渠道安排就是其中一个重要环节。信息渠道的安排影响到相关的政策信息披露的效率。另外当信息联系的各方出现目标冲突时,会产生信息沟通的损失,一些常见的机制,比如授权、协调中介可以在一定程度上解决信息损失的困境。

Public policies affect the interests of different social groups, whereas organized interest groups can exert influences on the decision making process. Interest groups can provide relevant information, and ally with some information committees upon shared interests. A robust decision - making mechanism can inspire information revelation and prevent deflection of policy for public interests. Its realization relies on a rational arrangement of information channels. The information channels can be damaged if conflict exists between a public principal and information agencies. To deal with such a situation, some institutional mechanisms, such as the work of a delegation, or, mediation by coordination, should be arranged.
