Abstract:
Local governments play important roles in local economic development under the fiscal federalism. The efficiency of local government expenditure, however, is various in different areas because of the resources distribution. This paper uses a stochastic production frontier analysis and statistical data from China's provinces to show these differences. The result indicates that the growth of relative scale of government expenditure cannot enhance the productive efficiency in west regions of China. On the contrary, the power of government expenditure in promoting productive efficiency is opposite to that in the east. Therefore, the authors believe that in order to realize the balanced financial development, special strategies should be chosen in selecting priority industries, increasing infrastructure construction and collecting capital and human resources in China's west and east.
