省以下政府间事权和支出责任划分

On the Assignment between Powers of Governments and Spending Obligations from the Provincial Level Down

新一轮简政放权改革为理清省以下政府间事权和支出责任提供了机会窗口。本文依托各省政务服务网的相关数据,描述了省-市-县级政府间事权和支出责任划分现状,发现同级部门权责事项的总量和结构在不同省份差异较大,同一省份内省市县级部门之间权责事项多有交叉;支出责任在各省同级部门之间和同省上下级部门之间均没有可比性,且与权责事项之间只存在单向的映射关系。为了在省以下政府间建立"事权和支出责任相适应的制度",可以考虑改革行政和财政体制,优化事权和支出责任划分,并为政府间关系立法。

The initiative ＂streamlined administration and increased delegation of powers＂ has provided an opportunity window for clarifying powers of governments and spending obligations from the provincial level down. Based on the online data of administrative service centers, the paper reviews the powers of governments and spending obligations among governments at provincial-prefecture-county levels. The results show that difference occurs in the quantity and structure of powers charged by government departments at the same level among different provinces, and the powers overlaps across tiers in the same province. There is no comparability when it comes to the spending obligations in the counterpart departments among different provinces and hierarchical ones in the same province, which hold no certain relations with the powers of governments. In order to create a system in which the powers of governments are commensurate with their respective spending obligations from the provincial level down, the suggestions on reducing administrative hierarchy, optimizing the demarcation between powers and spending obligations, and legislating for inter^overnmental relations are reenrnrnonclocl
