中国における経済と財政分権の格差に関する分析 : オーツの分権化定理に関する検証を踏まえて

Abstract

When economy grows, and resident’s needs are diversifying, finance starts to become decentralization of power as a result. The offer of the public service by the centralized government is suitable to unify the citizen’s preference of the wide area, but what the local government where inhabitants are the nearest carries is desirable for the offer of the community service in a small range(Oates’s decentralization theorem). On the other hand, it becomes to cause the difference of various public services in each area in fiscal decentralization. Therefore, it is important how we measure progress of the financial decentralization in each area and the financial decentralization of power difference between each area. The purpose of this report analyzes economic and fiscal decentralization disparities in China from the measurement of the tile index based on the data of “the Chinese statistics summary (2000 through 2007)” before and after the western great development, at the same time it analyzes whether the relation between economy and financial decentralization is correlative, in other words, Oates’s decentralization theorem is concluded in Chinese economy. As a result of analysis, following three points were confirmed. 1. Expenditure decentralization disparities and difference of the district production per capita have positive correlation. Therefore, Oates’s decentralization theorem may be concluded. 2. However, when I consider population movement, Fiscal empowerment disparities and difference of the district production per capita have negative correlation. As a result, when I consider the side political, Oates’s decentralization theorem may not be concluded. 3. In the major cities of the coastal place such as Beijing and Shanghai, as for the growth rate of expenditure decentralization and the original expenditure decentralization, these coefficients of correlation were negative. Oates’s decentralization theorem is not concluded in these cities, and it is predicted that a factor except the finance strongly works for economic growth.The conclusion whether or not Oates’s decentralization theorem was concluded remains much more vague by the complicated political economic system in this way in China.
