摘要: 财政分权作为一种划分中央和地方之间收支权责的制度安排,既有从财政收入角度的划分,也有从财政支出角度的划分,而不同角度下财政分权对地方政府科技投入的影响机制并不完全相同。本文在深入剖析两种角度下,财政分权影响地方政府科技投入的不同机制的基础上,基于中国省级面板数据,利用空间计量经济学方法,实证考察了财政分权对地方科技投入的影响。研究发现,收入角度下的财政分权显著地抑制了地方政府的科技投入,而支出角度下的财政分权却产生显著的正向作用。采用不同的空间权重矩阵,以及采用不同的财政分权度量指标,都表明本文结果具有良好的稳健性。本文结论可为中国深化财政体制改革,促进地方财政科技投入,进而落实创新驱动发展战略提供政策参考。

Abstract: Fiscal decentralization as an institutional arrangement dividing the rights and responsibilities from central to local revenue and expenditure. There should be established not only based on the point of fiscal revenue, but also on the fiscal expenditure. It should be noted that the influence on local government’s technology investment based on different points of view will not be exactly the same. In this paper, by deeply analyzing these two points of view and their corresponding mechanisms on how fiscal decentralization influent on local government’s technology investment, and then there is an empirical investigating into this influence based on Chinese provincial panel data combining spatial econometric methods. The result shows that fiscal decentralization under fiscal revenue condition will significantly inhibit this technology investment. While under fiscal expenditure will have a significant positive effect. The result in this paper can be proved to have a well robustness by using different spatial weights matrixes and fiscal decentralization metrics. This can give a political reference to China’s deepening financial reform, promotion of local investment on technology, and therefore, implementation of innovation-driven development strategy.
