辖区间竞争与策略性环境公共支出

Interregional Competiveness and Strategic Interaction in Environmental Public Expenditures

基于环境公共支出视角,检验中国大陆地市一级环境公共支出的策略性互动行为。研究显示:分权框架下,经济增长绩效考核压力使得辖区间环境公共支出竞争效应十分显著,相邻地区环境公共支出水平是决定当地环境公共支出的重要因素。同一省份内地市间环境公共支出的竞争效应明显小于跨省环境公共支出的竞争效应。从动态跨期效应和分位间异质性支出行为来看,环境公共支出的竞争效应存在界点。中央和地方政府都应逐步改变以经济增长为重的政治晋升考评机制,地方在加大环境财政支出预算的同时适当多元化环境管理手段,中央政府建立起跨省域统一的生态管理补偿机制,并推进环境科研、环境教育等公共管理手段对环境污染治理的积极作用。

The paper examines the strategic interaction in environmental public expenditures using citydata from the aspect of public expenditure. The results show that competiveness effect is obvious among regions,as depressed by the pressure of economic grow th evaluation,w hich makes environmental expenditure of adjacent areas to be the decisive element of its ow n. The competiveness effect induced in province is w eaker than the interprovincial effect. To assess the expenditure behavior from a dynamic and heterogeneous w ay,it has found that there exists a threshold in the competiveness effect. The promotion appraisal mechanisms w hich based mainly on GDP should be changed both for the central and the local governments. The local governments should increase the level of environmental expenditures as w ell as diversify the environmental management means. And central government should set up the spanned ecological compensation mechanism and make the best use of other environmental management tools such as technology research and environmental education.
