论城市公用事业竞争性供给

On the Competitive Supply of Urban Public Utilities

城市公用事业大多具有准公共产品的性质,供给上具有需求偏好的部分可显示、社会选择的半市场化、管理过程中居民有限参与等特点。我国目前的城市公用事业供给存在政府过多垄断问题,突出表现在供给中市民参与不足、民意缺乏有效表达途径、供给效率低下等。这需要我们进行制度创新,可以从竞争性结构构造和竞争性行为培养两方面入手,改革目前的供给模式。

Most of urban public utilities have the quality of quasi-public goods with such characteristics as partial showing supply preferences, socially selected semi-market and residents＇ limited participation in man- agement and so on. There is the problem of too much governmental monopoly in our nation＇ s urban public utilities, manifested in the residents＇ insufficient participation in supply, ineffective channels of expressing people＇ s ideas and low efficiency of supply, etc. This requires institutional innovation. To reform our current supply pattern, it can be carried out by means of competitive structure formation and competitive behavior cultivation.
