摘要:

立足于空间溢出效应视角,本研究对2004—2018年中国194个地级市面板数据展开了空间计量分析,实证检验了地方政府教育财政之间策略互动关系的存在性,并考察了地方政府教育投入的内在动机与激励机制。研究发现,地理邻近与人口邻近地方政府的教育财政之间存在显著的互补性策略互动关系;地方政府的教育财政策略不仅受到地方经济特征与财政特征的显著影响,还受到制度惯性与官员晋升锦标赛机制的共同激励;面对中央教育领域的预算调控,东部、中西部地区地方政府存在异质性反馈机制,其中东部地区对中央政策的反馈更灵敏。因此,中央的教育发展规划应充分考虑地方政府的教育财政策略互动行为,以及地方政府对中央计划反馈机制的异质性,从而均衡区域间教育资源的配置,并推动区域协调发展。

Abstract:

From the perspective of spatial spillover effects, we conduct a spatial econometric analysis on the panel data of 194 cities in China from 2004 to 2018. The purpose of our empirical test is to verify the existence of strategic interaction in education expenditures between local governments. Besides, the paper also aims at examining the intrinsic motivation and incentive mechanism of local government education expenditures. The results show that local governments have significant complementary strategic interactions with their geographical and demographic neighbors in education fiscal policy. Moreover, the education expenditures of local governments are significantly affected by economic basis, fiscal characteristics, institutional inertia and official promotion. We also found that governments in different regions have a heterogeneous feedback mechanism towards central budget. The governments in eastern region are more sensitive. Therefore, the education development plan of central government should take the spatial spillover effect and the regional heterogeneity into consideration. Only in this way can the plan better balance the allocation of educational resources and promote coordinated regional development.
