官员更替、营商环境与企业非生产性负担

Turnover of Government Leaders,Doing Business Environment and Non-productive Burden of Enterprises

公关费用和摊派费用等是企业非生产性负担的主要构成部分,是当前政府及相关部门为企业减负的重点。本文匹配全国民营企业调查数据和地级市主要官员信息数据,研究官员更替对企业非生产性负担的影响。结果表明,官员更替会显著增加民营企业的非生产性负担,并且官员更替对企业非生产性负担的影响会因官员任期和企业特征变化产生差异。好的营商环境具有抑制性调节作用,有助于降低官员更替对企业非生产性负担的影响。本文的政策含义为:要减轻企业非生产性负担和促进经济实现高质量发展,需要完善社会主义市场经济法制和建设“亲”、“清”型政商关系。

The public relation charges and the apportioned charges are the main content of non-productive burden of enterprises,which is a key focus of the current government and related de-partments to reduce this burden on enterprises.By matching the data sets collected through the China Private Enterprise Survey(CPES)with the information of prefectural government leaders,we find that the turnover of government leaders has a significant effect on the non-productive bur-den of private enterprises.The effect changes according to the heterogeneity characteristic of offi-cial’s tenure and enterprise characteristics.Furthermore,we find that a good business environ-ment can mitigate the effect of the local leaders’turnover on the non-productive burden of enter-prises.Our results suggest that it matters to improve the legal system of the socialist market econ-omy and build the close and clean government-business relationship,in order to relieve the non-productive burden of enterprises and promote high-quality economic development.
