| 内容提要 | 行政管理权的相对集中是财政分权的保障。本文理论分析了中国特色行政管理和财政分权在地方政府决策中的作用，并采用2002-2009年市县级数据实证分析了这两个因素对经济增长的影响。研究表明，中国特色的行政管理体制与财政分权共同作用能够促进经济增长，其主要原因在于集中的行政管理体制保障了下级官员发展经济的激励。文章的结论为威权体制下财政分权之于经济增长的作用提供了重要依据。 |
| Abstract | This paper establishes a two-level administration model to analyze the role of political centralization and fiscal decentralization in the policy making process of local government. We then conduct an empirical study to identify their impacts on economic growth using prefecture and county level data from 2002 to 2009. Our findings show that: First, political centralization and fiscal decentralization reinforce each other and have significantly positive effect on economic growth. Secondly, “Chinese Style” political centralization can increase the promotion incentives of subordinate officials, thus accelerating economic growth. Third, even controlling for political centralization, fiscal decentralization is positively correlated with economic growth, which lends evidence to the classic decentralization theory. |
