财政预算的“公地悲剧”:财政支出规模增长的一种解释

The Tragedy of the Commons in Public Budgeting: An Explanation for the Growth of Fiscal Expenditure

财政支出增长的经典理论忽视了对财政预算的公共资源属性及其对预算行为主体影响的研究。财政预算资金具有公共资源的经济属性,在预算决策的政治过程中,会导致财政预算的"公地悲剧"。这是预算资金配置使用效率低下、财政支出规模恶性膨胀的经济性根源。财政预算过程的政治逻辑则规定了财政支出规模相对扩张的途径和限度约束。

The classic theory of the fiscal expenditure growth ignores the study of the nature of public resources of fiscal budgeting and its influence on the subject of the budgeting. The fund of the fiscal budgeting, with the economic property of public resources, can give rise to the tragedy of the commons in public budgeting~ This is the economic cause of the low efficiency in the budgeting fund allocation and the deterioration of budgeting expenditure growth. The political logic in the budgeting process determines the channd of the relative fiscal growth and constraint.
