政府间事权划分的理论依据:基于政治学、经济学的视角

The Theoretical Foundation of Power Division Between Governments from the Perspective of Politics and Economics

健全政府间财力与事权相匹配的体制机制,重点在于对政府间事权进行明确地划分,这不仅是一个政治学问题,更是一个经济学问题。政府职能理论、有限政府理论和政府利益理论从政治学层面对该问题进行了合理的阐释,而经济学家们所提出的公共产品供给层次理论、寻租理论、博弈理论和交易成本理论便构成了政府间事权划分的经济学基础。深入理解政府间事权划分的政治、经济学依据,便于从其理论渊源中把握事权划分应坚持的基本原则和所要达到的行为目标,从而推动我国财政体制改革的进程。
