中部地区财政支出规模效率分析——以河南省为例

An Analysis on the Scale Efficiency of the Central Region's Fiscal Spending——Taking the Case of Henan Province as An Example

笔者以河南省为例,运用生产函数,引入包括财政支出和经济增长的四变量对财政支出规模进行协整分析,结果显示河南省财政支出的最优规模应该是财政支出占GDP比重的29.94%,河南省财政支出规模不足。增强地方财力,中部地区需要中央加大"均等化"转移支付力度。

The economy of the six provinces of mid-China has a rapid development after the rise-planning of the central region. Mean- while, the fiscal spending of the six provinces of mid-China is expanding continually. The author is concerned with whether the fiscal spending can achieve the macro-scale efficiency. This article, taking Henan Province as an example, employs a co-integration analysis by using production function, leading into four variables including fiscal spending and economic growth. The result shows the optimal scale of Henan Province~ fiscal spending should be at 29.94 percent of the GDP of Henan Province. However, the fiscal spending scale of Henan Province is inadequate at all. So the central region needs the central government to increase the ＂equalization＂ transfer pay- ments so as to strengthen the local finance.
