摘要: 防范化解地方政府债务风险是国家高度关注的问题,而加强对地方政府债务的监督是财政部依法履行财政监督职责的重要内容。那么,财政监督能防范化解地方政府债务风险吗?以2016年《财政部驻各地财政监察专员办事处实施地方政府债务监督暂行办法》的发布为准自然实验,选取2009—2019年省级地方政府债务为研究对象,采用双重差分法研究了财政监督在防范化解地方政府债务风险中的作用。研究表明,财政监督可防范化解地方政府债务风险,且财政监督与政府审计监督在防范化解地方政府债务风险上具有积极的合力作用。影响机制分析表明,财政监督能够提高财政资金使用效益和财政透明度,从而能降低地方政府债务风险。进一步研究发现,地区法治化水平越高,财政监督对地方政府债务风险治理效能越显著;相较于中西部地区,东部地区的财政监督对地方政府债务风险的防范化解作用更强。为此,要优化财政监督与政府审计监督的协同机制,完善地方政府债务信息披露制度。

Abstract: Preventing and resolving the risks of local government debt is a highly concerned issue for the country, and strengthening the supervision of local government debt is an important part of the Ministry of Finance’s lawful performance of financial supervision responsibilities. So, can financial supervision prevent and resolve the risk of local government debt? Taking the release of the 2016 “Interim Measures for the Implementation of Local Government Debt Supervision by the Offices of the Ministry of Finance in Local Fiscal Ombudsmen”as a quasi-natural experiment, and selecting the provincial-level local government debt from 2009 to 2019 as the research object, this paper studies the role of financial supervision in preventing and resolving the risks of local government debt with the double difference method. The findings show that fiscal supervision can prevent and resolve the debt risks of local governments, and that fiscal supervision and government audit supervision can play an active resultant role in preventing and resolving the local government debt risks. The influencing mechanism analysis reveals that fiscal supervision can increase the efficiency of the use of financial funds and the fiscal transparency, hence it can reduce the debt risks of local governments. Further research reveals that the higher the level of legalization, the more significant the effectiveness of fiscal supervision on local government debt risk governance; compared with the central and western regions, this effect of fiscal supervision on local government debt risks is strongerin the eastern region. Therefore, in order to optimize the collaborative mechanism between fiscal supervision and government audit supervision, it is necessary to improve the local government debt information disclosure system.

Key words: financial supervision, resident commissioner's office of the Ministry of Finance, government audit, local government debt risk
