论经济学成本理论视阈下的政府信息公开范围

On the Scope of Government Information Disclosure In the Perspective of Cost-theory of Economics

传统政治法律文化与理念、经济发展与法治建设水平、政府偏好与官员的利己性是影响信息公开范围成本的主要因素;政府在确定信息公开范围以及实施过程中不是无代价,而是存在机会成本、边际成本和交易成本;在条件成熟时应当对政府信息公开范围予以修改。

Traditional culture and ideas of politics and laws, the development of economics and the rule of law, government’s preferences, as well as officials’ self-serving are the main impacts of the cost of information disclosure. Determining the scope of information disclosure and the implementation process are not costless. On the contrary, there exist opportunity costs, marginal costs and transaction costs. So when conditions are prepared, the government should revise the scope of information disclosure.
