摘要: 以我国财政分权改革为制度背景,结合财政制度环境因素,深度探讨财政分权、财政透明度与地方政府债务规模之间的内在联系及其作用机制,并利用2009—2017年全国30个省份面板数据检验财政分权对地方政府债务规模的影响。研究结果显示:财政分权对地方政府债务规模的影响呈现显著的倒U型关系,即较低的财政分权水平会刺激地方政府债务规模上升,随着财政分权水平扩大,达到一定的临界值后,财政分权反而会有助于改善地方政府债务水平;财政透明度是财政分权与地方政府债务规模拐点效应的重要影响因素,地区财政透明度越高,财政分权对地方政府债务规模的抑制效应越容易挤出刺激效应,更早出现两者的拐点效应;在不同地区和不同债务风险水平下,财政分权对地方政府债务规模的影响具有异质性表现。

关键词: 财政分权; 地方政府债务; 财政透明度; 拐点效应

Abstract: Taking the reform of fiscal decentralization in China as the institutional background and combining the environmental factors of the fiscal system, the internal relationship and the working mechanism between fiscal decentralization, fiscal transparency and local government debt scales are deeply explored, and the panel data of 30 provinces in China from 2009 to 2017 is used to test the impact of fiscal decentralization on local government debt scales. The results show that the impact of fiscal decentralization on local government debt scales presents a significant inverted U-shaped relationship, that is, a lower level of fiscal decentralization will stimulate the rise of local government debt scales. As the level of fiscal decentralization expands, after reaching a certain critical value, fiscal decentralization will reduce the level of local government debts. Fiscal transparency is an important factor influencing the inflection point effect of fiscal decentralization and local government debt scales. The higher regional fiscal transparency is, the easier the inhibition effect of fiscal decentralization on local government debt scales is to squeeze out the stimulus effect, and the inflection point effect of fiscal decentralization may appear earlier. The impact of fiscal decentralization on local government debt scales is heterogeneous in different regions and at different debt risk levels.

Key words: fiscal decentralization; local government debt; fiscal transparency; effect of inflection point
