地方政府数据治理机构成立的影响因素和模式探讨——基于中国296个地级市的事件史分析

Factors Influencing Local Governments’Data Governance Bodies:A Study and Model Exploration based on Event History Analysis of 296 Prefecture-level Cities in China

随着大数据逐渐成为社会经济生活和政府治理中的关键生产资料,对数据要素的综合治理已经演化为现代政府职能的一个不可或缺的内容。成立数据治理机构是近年来中国数字政府建设重要的改革举措之一,为政府管理和数据应用提供了组织基础。收集了2015—2021年间全国296个地级市的混合横截面时间序列数据,利用事件史分析(EHA)方法,探索了地方数据治理机构成立的模式、扩散的特点以及影响因素。研究发现:(1)从时间维度上看,数据治理机构改革符合S形累积分布曲线规律;(2)领导干部的教育背景与数据治理机构的不同类型的关系不可忽视;(3)相比于纵向层级压力,横向压力对数据治理机构机构改革有更为显著促进作用。

With big data gradually becoming a key means of production in socio-economic life and governance,the comprehensive governance of data elements has evolved into an indispensable element of modern government functions.The establishment of a data governance body has been one of the important reform initiatives for China’s digital government in recent years,providing an organizational foundation for government management and data application.Mixed cross-sectional time-series data from 296 prefecture-level cities across China were collected for the period 2015–2021,and event history analysis(EHA)methodology was utilized to explore the patterns of the establishment of local data governance bodies,the characteristics of their proliferation,and the factors influencing them.It is found that(1)from the time dimension,the reform of data governance bodies conforms to the S-shaped cumulative distribution curve law;(2)the relationship between the educational backgrounds of the leading cadres and the different types of data governance bodies is not to be ignored;and(3)compared to vertical hierarchical pressures,horizontal pressures have a more significant effect on data governance bodies’institutional reform has a more significant contributing effect.
