论政府干预成本

On the Cost of Government Intervention

政府干预成本是政府干预方式选择确定后的制度安排结构总的运行成本。计划经济体制实质上是超越市场的政府干预体制。不同体制背景下,政府干预的成本模式会出现成本与绩效之比的透支或盈余的差别。当然不同体制下政府干预成本是同质的,必须考虑影响和制约政府干预成本的因素:生产力水平、所有制、文化背景、利益公平。降低政府干预成本的核心在于,充分发挥市场在资源配置中的基础性作用,提高政府效率。

The cost of government intervention is the overall operation cost after which the institutional structure and the manner of government intervention have been chosen.The planned economy is virtually government intervention system beyond the market.Depending on different institutional backgrounds,the cost pattern of government intervention will show differences in terms of the ratio of cost to performance.Of course,the government intervention costs are homogenous even if their systems are different.Therefore, such factors as productivity level,ownership,culture background,and benefit equity that affect and restrict government intervention costs must be considered.The key to reduce government intervention cost rests with exerting the fundamental function of the market to resources allocation,thereby improving the gov- ernment efficiency.
