摘要: 研究财政分权与晋升竞争对居民公共服务的影响,有助于提升居民公共服务满意度,从而增进民生福祉。将2013年与2015年中国综合社会调查(CGSS)的个体微观数据与地级市数据相匹配,实证分析纵向财政分权与横向晋升竞争对居民公共服务满意度的影响机制。研究表明:纵向财政分权与横向竞争共同影响居民公共服务满意度,且两者存在显著的互补关系,竞争程度的增加使财政分权对居民公共服务满意度产生正向影响,但竞争不足时则表现为抑制作用。在分析全国文明城市评选活动时发现,专项治理行动在短期内可提升地方晋升竞争压力,从而对财政分权发挥调节作用,但长期来看,这种作用并不显著。因此,要在难以形成有效横向竞争的领域发挥中央政府的统筹作用,促进公共服务均等化,同时强化地区间公共服务领域竞争,发挥居民对政府的监督作用,推动公共服务领域考评机制长期化,建立专项治理行动的动态考核机制。

Abstract: To study the impact of fiscal decentralization and promotion competition on the public services for residences is conductive to the improving of the degree of residents' satisfaction with the public services, thereby increasing people's well-being. By matching the individual micro-data of Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS) from 2013 to 2015 with the data of the prefecture-level cities, this paper empirically analyzes the affecting mechanism of the vertical fiscal decentralization and the horizontal promotion competition onthe residents'satisfaction with public services. The findings show that the vertical fiscal decentralization and the horizontal promotion competition jointly affect the residents' satisfaction with the public services, and that there is a significant complementary relationship between the two. The increase of the degree of competition makes the fiscal decentralization produce a positive influence on the residents' satisfaction with public services, however, insufficient competition will play an inhibiting role. It is found when analyzing the selection of national civilized cities that the special treatment action can increase the local promotion competition pressure in a short period, thus playing a regulating role in the fiscal decentralization; however, this kind of role is not significant in the long term. Therefore, in the areas where effective horizontal competition is difficult to form, it is necessary to let the central government play a role of overall planning, promote the equalization of public services, and at the same time strengthen the regional competition in the public service area, give full play to the residents in supervising the governments, promote the long-term evaluation mechanism in the area of public services, and establish a dynamic appraisal mechanism of the special treatment action.

Key words: fiscal decentralization, promotion competition, residents'satisfaction with public service, national selection of civilized cities
