摘要
中国的经济体制改革是市场化和财政分权的双重分权过程,这一过程对中国经济发展的推动作用在理论上已达成共识,但对这种双重分权的关系以及作用机理的解释还缺乏充分的证据。采用面板数据模型,利用1999—2004年间市场化指数和中国省级面板数据进行的分析发现:市场化和财政分权都是推动中国经济发展的重要力量,但市场化进程对经济增长的影响又依赖于各地区的财政分权水平,对于财政分权度高的地区,市场化进程对经济增长的促进作用显著为负。这一发现,无论对于我们通过深化市场化改革促进经济发展的方向,还是对于理解中国分权式改革的多重影响,都具有重要意义。
China＇s reform is a dual-decentralization process, namely, marketization and fiscal decentralization. Although it is now a theoretical consensus that this process has significant promotion effects on China＇s economic development, it still lacks of empirical evidence on the relationship and mechanism between the both parts of the dual-decentralization. This paper suggests that both these parts of dual-decentralization are two major driving forces of China＇s economic development by employing a panel data model with the marketization index and provincial data covering 1999-2004. The impacts of the marketization process on economic growth depend upon the level of regional fiscal decentralization. In those highly fiscally decentralized regions, the effects of marketization process on economic growth turn out to be negative. Although our analysis is based on 30 regional data ranges from 1999-2004, the result is also robust to various index of decentralization and economic growth. This conclusion has significant implications for both insisting on the market-oriented reform and understanding the multiple effects of China＇s decentralization reform.
