信息通信能力能否增强地方财政民生回应——基于互联网等现代ICT的角度

Can Information Communication Capability Improve Responses of Local Financial Authorities to People's Livelihood:From the Perspective of Modern ICTs such as the Internet

信息不对称会导致中央政府、社会和居民对地方政府公共决策的监督缺失。所以,降低信息成本能够约束地方政府的自由量裁权,能够制约地方政府的投资冲动,进而增强地方财政的民生回应。互联网等现代ICT能实现这一影响机制。进一步研究表明,提高信息通信能力,能够增强地方财政民生回应,从而改善地区民生公共服务发展水平。因此,进行民生财政建设,除了要进行"治本"的财政制度改革外,还应该重视"治标"的外在技术约束;大力发展网信事业,发挥现代ICT技术对民生财政建设和地区民生公共服务发展的促进作用;加强现代ICT技术的专项教育,促使居民合理利用现代ICT技术向政府反映民生诉求。

Information asymmetry will lead to the lack of supervision from the central government, the society and the residents over the public decision-making by local governments. Therefore,reducing the cost of information can constrain the discretionary power of local governments, which can restrain the investment impulse of local governments and enhance the responses of local financial authorities to the people＇s livelihood. Modern ICTs such as the Internet can realize this impact mechanism. Further research shows that improving information communication capabilities can enhance the responses of local financial authorities to the people＇s livelihoods, thus improving the development of public services for the local people＇s livelihood. Therefore, in order to carry out the financial construction for people＇s livelihood, we should not only carry out the financial system reform which can have permanent cure effect, but also pay attention to the external technical which may restrain the treatment of the symptoms. We should vigorously develop the network communications, give full play to the modern ICT technology in promoting the financial constructions for people＇s livelihood and the development of local public services for people＇s livelihood, strengthen the special education of modern ICT technology, and urge the residents to use modern ICT technology rationally to reflect the appeals of people＇s livelihood.
