摘要及关键词

摘要：积极推进政民互动是全面实施乡村振兴战略、推进共同富裕的坚强保障，但较少有研究揭示在何种条件下政民互动能在多大程度上帮助改善居民福利。文章利用2016年上海财经大学“千村调查”数据，使用结构方程模型探讨了政民互动对农村居民福利水平的影响。研究结果表明，首先，政民互动渠道的畅通拉近了基层政权与村民之间的距离，并有助于提升居民福利水平。其次，政民互动的三个阶段均不同程度地提升了居民主观福利，其中在事中互动环节，村干部关于公共政策信息的解读对结果的影响更为显著。最后，清廉感知、程序公平和精准帮扶可以在一定程度上解释政民互动和居民福利的关系，其中程序公平在政民互动与居民主观福利改善间的调节作用高于清廉感知和精准帮扶。文章结论对于实现农村居民与国家政策之间的良性互动、推进基层治理体系和治理能力现代化具有重要的实践意义。

Summary: Actively promoting citizen-state interaction is a strong guarantee for comprehensively implementing the rural revitalization strategy and promoting common prosperity. Citizen-state interaction is an important strategy for promoting informed, engaged and empowered citizens, which can help to advance management and organizational goals. However, there is a lack of studies on the stage at which the interaction between the government and the citizen is more conducive to the improvement of residents’ welfare. Based on the evaluation of villagers’ behaviors of village collective organizations in the early, middle and late stages to measure citizen-state interaction, this paper discusses the heterogeneous effect of citizen-state interaction in different stages on the improvement of residents’ welfare and its mechanisms. Based on the data of the “Thousand-villages Survey” conducted by Shanghai University of Finance and Economics in 2016, we use the Structural Equation Modeling to study the impact of citizen-state interaction on the welfare of rural residents. The results show that: First, the smooth channel of information interaction effectively closes the distance between the grassroots government and villagers, and helps to improve residents’ welfare. Second, the three stages of citizen-state interaction all improve the subjective welfare of residents. Among them, the interaction link and the interpretation of public policy information by village cadres have a more prominent impact on the outcomes. Third, corruption perception, procedural fairness and precise assistance can explain the relationship between citizen-state interaction and residents’ welfare, and procedural fairness has a higher moderating effect than corruption perception and precise assistance. The conclusions are of important practical significance for realizing the benign interaction between rural residents and national policies, and promoting the modernization of grassroots governance system and governance capacity. The contributions are reflected in the following aspects: First, existing literature on citizen-state interaction is mainly based on individual cases or specific situations, and the effectiveness and extensibility of their conclusions are questionable. This paper empirically examines the welfare effect of citizen-state interaction, which is an extension of the relevant literature. Second, this paper distinguishes and quantifies citizen-state interaction, and employs the Structural Equation Modeling to investigate the impact of citizen-state interaction on the objective and subjective welfare of residents. Third, this paper identifies and compares the importance of corruption perception, procedural fairness and precise assistance in the process of citizen-state interaction to improve residents’ welfare, and provides policy implications for better playing the service role of citizen-state interaction.
