A Study Of Human Size Difference Of Local Government At Province-level In China And Determinants

In recent years, the problem of government human size is concerned extremely by various circles of society. It is the main focus of attention that if government human size in china is too large, the both sides of dispute mostly set forth their views by making a comparison of all times through China and foreign countries, mainly limit to history survey and international comparison of human size of Chinese government from longitudinal and crosswise angles of view, aim at constructing the appropriate government human size in china. However, in actual fact, the territory of our country is vast, there is greater difference between every district in the area of region, quantity and quality of population, traffic and communication facilities, government functionaries quality, economic development level and market maturity, etc. For this reason, even the national government human size is appropriate, it doesn't mean that the human size of every local area is certainly appropriate, furthermore, the most government functionaries of our country work for local government at all levels, consequently, I think it is even more possessed of theory development and policy guidance significance to study the appropriate human size of local government in china. In view of this understanding, I will inquire into this important issue of the cause of human size increase of local government at province-level and the determinants of government human size cross-province difference in china on the basis of the theories of Public Choice Theory and New System Economics, combined with quantitative analyses.Therefore, the problem that this thesis should study is to clarify the cause of human size increase of local government at province-level and the determinants of government human size cross-province difference in china. That is to say, at first, this thesis throws light on the function and influence of system factors on human size increase(or decrease) of local government at province-level in system terms to offer an explanation for the cause of human size increase of local government at province-level; Secondly, it analyzes the determinants of government human size cross-province difference in china; Finally, it carries empirical research on the determinants of government human size cross-province difference to confirm and employ previous theory analyses.
