地方政府环境支出行为的空间策略互动研究*——传导机制与再检验

本文从理论和实证两个维度检验了地方政府环境支出行为的空间策略互动的传导机制。结果表明，环境支出存在明显的空间策略互动与时间滞后效应。其表现为相邻省级地区之间环保财政支出行为的互相模仿和路径依赖。外商直接投资和财政分权并不是导致地区间环境支出“逐底竞争”的直接原因。在构建多维度政绩考核体系来引导政府财政支出竞争的同时，建立地区间环境支出的协调机制和对外开放等途径，有利于实现均衡和绿色发展。

SPATIAL STRATEGY INTERACTION OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT ENVIRONMENTAL PUBLIC EXPENDITURES BEHAVIOR——Transmission Mechanism and Reexaminations

This paper examines the transmission mechanism of spatial strategy interaction of environmental expenditure behavior of local governments from both theoretical and empirical dimensions. The results show that there exists obvious spatial strategy interaction and time lag effect in environmental expenditure, which is reflected in the mutual imitation and path dependence of environmental fiscal expenditure between adjacent provincial regions. Foreign direct investment and fiscal decentralization are not the direct reasons for “race to the bottom” of regional environmental expenditure. While building a multi dimensional performance appraisal system to guide the competition of government financial expenditure, it is conducive to China's balanced and green development by establishing a coordination mechanism of regional environmental expenditure and opening up to the outside world.
