我国公共安全与经济增长的空间计量实证分析

Public Security and Economic Growth: An Empirical Analysis Based on the Spatial Panel Data of China

公共安全服务可以有效保护资本产权并最终促进经济增长。在考虑公共安全服务空间溢出效应的同时,采用空间计量经济学方法对我国1998到2005年的省级面板数据进行实证分析后得到如下结论:用于公共安全维护的城市维护费用、公检法司支出等公共支出对经济增长的贡献十分显著;相邻地区用于公共安全维护的支出对于本地区的经济增长存在显著的正外部效应;为追求更高的经济增长速度,财政资源可适当向公共安全领域进行倾斜。

Public security can protect the property rights of the capital, thus improve the rate of economic growth. Considering the overflow effect of the public security, this paper made an empirical analysis by using the spatial panel data of China from the year 1998 to 2005. The result shows us, the expenditure for city maintenance, public security agency, procuratorial agency and court of justice has made significantly positive effects on the economic growth indeed. So, the economy growth of China also will be quicker if we spend more financial resources on the public security service.
