对外开放程度、市场化进程与中国省级政府效率--基于Malmquist-Luenberger指数的实证研究

Degree of Opening to the Outside World,Market-oriented Process and Provincial Government Efficiency in China:An Empirical Study Based on Malmquist-Luenberger Index

文章利用考虑非期望产出的至前沿最远距离函数(SBM模型),测算了1997~2014年中国30个省份的政府效率,进一步利用受限的Tobit模型对对外开放程度和市场化进程作用于省级政府效率影响机制和影响效应进行了实证考察。主要结果显示:在控制相关影响因素后,对外开放和市场化进程显著的提升了政府效率,且市场化进程要比对外开放起到更重要的作用,此外二者在促进政府效率提升中存在着替代关系。这一结论在考虑了空间、指标、样本、地区和时间的异质性后仍然稳健。研究结论表明,中国政府职能改革应立足于市场化机制,同时以对外开放倒逼改革,实现政府职能转变的"新常态"。

In this paper, we calculate the government efficiency of China＇s 30 provinces from 1997 to 2014 under the constraints of environment and corruption is calculated by using the front-to-front furthest distance function （SBM）, then Tobit model is used to study the mechanism and effect of opening-up and market -oriented process on provincial government efficiency. The main results are as follows： The marketization process and opening to the outside world significantly enhance the government efficiency, and the marketization is more important than the opening to the outside world, in addition to the promotion of government efficiency Substitution relation. This conclusion is robust after taking into account spatial indicator, sample, region and temporal heterogeneity. The conclusion of the study indicates that the reform of government function in China should be based on the market mechanism, government should use opening to the outside world to force the government to reform at the same time, and realize the ＂New Normal State＂ of transformation of government functions.
