This paper described the relationship between public choice theory and the provision of rural public goods and it was a basis for in-depth study of the government's subject behavior from the perspective of public choice, and led to the necessity of regulation of rural public goods provision in rural areas, then it presented a strengthen monitoring of the rationalization proposals.展开更多
