地方公共支出结构对我国区域综合发展的影响研究

Investigating the Effects of Public Expenditure Structure on Regional Comprehensive Development

本文研究了地方政府公共支出及其结构对我国区域综合发展的作用,分析地方政府公共支出在促进区域综合发展中的效应及作用机制。本文在分析公共支出对于区域综合发展影响的基础上,利用1995—2010年间我国30个省、自治区和直辖市的面板数据,实证检验了经济性和社会性公共支出对各地区经济发展水平和综合发展水平的影响效应。研究发现,在全国层面,不论是对经济增长,还是综合发展,经济性支出占比的增加都有负面影响,而社会性支出占比的增加则有正面影响;社会性支出与经济性支出的相对比重对不同地区经济发展水平和综合发展水平也有不同的影响。

This paper studies the effect of public expenditure and its structure on regional comprehensive development.Following the IMFs classification of public expenditure,this study uses Chinas cross-provincial panel data from 1995 to 2010to empirically examine the effects of economic affairs expenditure and social affairs expenditure on regional economic development and comprehensive development.The empirical analysis indicates that for both economic growth and comprehensive development,the influence of social affairs expenditure is stronger than economic affairs expenditure.This paper also finds that the effects of the ratio of two types of public expenditure on local economic growth and comprehensive development are different among the western,middle and eastern China.
