摘要
本文采用二阶段DEA-Tobit模型核算并解释了我国地方政府的社会性支出效率,主要发现是:(1)地方政府的各项社会性支出效率存在明显的地区差距,但地区差距正在逐步缩小,其中,中部地区的卫生和教育支出效率最高,东部地区的社会保障支出效率最高,西部地区的各项支出效率均最低,而总社会性支出效率最高的是东部地区;(2)总体而言,由于地方政府支出无效率导致的社会性公共产品的损失量大约占现有生产环境和技术条件下潜在产出量的10.8%;(3)政府规模、行政腐败、收入差距和人均GDP等环境因素是降低社会性支出效率的变量,而教育水平、城市化率和人口规模等环境因素则是提高社会性支出效率的变量,当然,各环境变量对分项社会性支出效率的影响也存在一定差异。
In this paper, we investigate the efficiency of local governments＇ social expenditure in China using a two-stage DEA-Tobit model. Further more we draw to three conclusions as follows： first, in general, inefficiency in social expenditure is widespread among local governments, which leads to a loss of about 10. 8% of potential outputs. Second, there are remarkable expenditure efficiencies different between eastern, central and western regions, namely, the expenditure efficiencies of public health and education are relatively higher in central region, while social security expenditure is relatively higher in eastern region, and western region is the lowest in each category among them. Third, the expenditure efficiency is positively relating to the citizens＇ education level, urbanization and population, while negatively relating to the government＇s scale, corruption, income inequality and per capita GDP.
