财政预算缺乏有效约束导致地方政府普遍过度负债,如何“硬化”地方政府预算、调整地方政府支出的超额扩张是解决当前大规模债务的基础课题之一。本文借鉴BFI指数构建了中国省级财政预算约束指数,并分析了影响财政预算约束及预算约束调整的相关因素。研究发现,良好的制度环境有利于约束地方政府预算超额扩张;而分权导致的以经济增长为标尺的地方政府投资冲动,是造成地方预算软约束的重要原因。进一步分析结果表明,较差的制度环境更容易诱导地方政府公共支出结构的偏向性配置,从而加剧其在建设性领域中的投资冲动,降低了预算约束调整成功的可能性。在加强制度环境建设的同时,着重改革分权框架下地方政府投资竞争的扭曲性制度激励,有利于治理财政预算软约束并有效控制地方政府的扩张偏向性支出行为。
財政預算缺乏有效約束導緻地方政府普遍過度負債,如何“硬化”地方政府預算、調整地方政府支齣的超額擴張是解決噹前大規模債務的基礎課題之一。本文藉鑒BFI指數構建瞭中國省級財政預算約束指數,併分析瞭影響財政預算約束及預算約束調整的相關因素。研究髮現,良好的製度環境有利于約束地方政府預算超額擴張;而分權導緻的以經濟增長為標呎的地方政府投資遲動,是造成地方預算軟約束的重要原因。進一步分析結果錶明,較差的製度環境更容易誘導地方政府公共支齣結構的偏嚮性配置,從而加劇其在建設性領域中的投資遲動,降低瞭預算約束調整成功的可能性。在加彊製度環境建設的同時,著重改革分權框架下地方政府投資競爭的扭麯性製度激勵,有利于治理財政預算軟約束併有效控製地方政府的擴張偏嚮性支齣行為。

For a long time, the fiscal local budget has been short of constraint, leading to the over-debt of local governments. There comes an important problem of how to consolidate the local budget and adjust the excess increase of local expenditures. This paper makes up the soft budget index by using the provincial data, following the method of constructing the Blanchard Fiscal Index. Furthermore, it studies what caused the soft budget of local government and how to manage it successfully. We found that the good institutional environment is good at constraining the excess growth of local budget. Meanwhile, the invest impulse of local government inspired by economic growth competiveness, is the fundamental cause of local soft budget. When discussing about the mechanism, we found that the composition of local expenditures would be distorted when institutional environment got worse, as local governments would invest more in constructing areas. And this has largely decreased the probabilities of local budget adjustment. These all conclude that we should improve the institutional environment, as well as changing the distorted incentives that impelled the over-impulse of local government investment.
