摘要:
本文研究了中国取消基于地方的“国家贫困县”计划对县级财政支出的影响。我们的双差分析结果表明取消该计划使县财政支出占 GDP 的比率平均降低了 3.78%。为了支持这些发现的因果,我们提供了两个合理的解释,“反向捕蝇纸效应”和“主动/被动浪费效应”。我们的结果在考虑选择偏差、遗漏变量偏差和空间相关性的情况下仍然成立。 我们还讨论了研究结果的政策含义。
Abstract:
This paper investigates the effect of the cancellation of China's program of “national poverty counties”—a place-based policy—on county-level fiscal expenditures. Our difference-in-differences results indicate that the cancellation reduces the county fiscal expenditure-to-GDP ratio by an average of 3.78%. To support a causal interpretation of these findings, we provide two plausible explanations, the reverse flypaper effect and the active/passive waste effect. Our findings survive the consideration of selection bias, omitted-variable bias, and spatial correlation. Policy implications of our findings are also discussed.
