信访作为一种公共产品，属于缺乏消费弹性的刚性产品。信访的免费性激励当事人进行信访，但作为信访消费者的纠纷当事人，却可能难以摆脱“沉没成本”的心理效应，从而导致强制解纷的路径依赖。而作为信访产品提供者的国家，可以通过信访机制获得代理人地方治理的绩效考评，实现中央对地方的便宜治理。但这一效能，还需要配套足够的上级信访受案容量，以免形成信访者的逆向激励而过度放大纠纷。

As a public good, letter and visit system belongs to the rigid products short of the consumption elasticity. The free letter and visit system always motivates the concerning parties, but it would be difficult for the participant involved in the disputes to get rid of the psychological effects of the sunk cost which may lead to the path dependence of the mandatory dispute resolution. As the provider of petition products, the state may fulfill its local governance in a economized way through the agent performance evaluation of local govern- ance by said mechanism. However, the provision of adequate case capacity supported by the upper authorities is needed, with which the adverse motivation to the participants and thus the excessive zoom of the concerning disputes may be avoided.
