Research On Supply Efficiency Of Rural Public Goods In New Rural Area Construction

In the new century, the central government issued seven No.l Documents in a row beginning from the year 2004, to actively promote the building of new socialist countryside under the guidance of the spirit of coordinating urban and rural economic and social development. As a long-time influence of such factors as incomplete system, inadequate supply, unreasonable structure on China's rural public goods supply, the overall supply efficiency is not high in terms of the huge gap between urban and rural areas, rural economic development lags, the weak rural infrastructure, the slow growth in farmers' income, the lack of social security for farmers and regional disparities and so on. It is obvious that the enhancement in the efficiency of public goods supply in rural areas. thus contributing to better and faster rural economic and social development, will be an important prerequisite for the smooth realization for the construction of new rural areas. Based on the above points, this study researches further into the issue of the efficiency of public goods supply in rural areas in the context of the new rural development.This study sets the new rural development as a major research background, takes the rural public goods as the main object of study and comprehensively utilizes various methodology like literature reading and database retrieval, system analysis method, comparative research method as well as a combination of qualitative and quantitative, normative and empirical, historical and practical, inductive and deductive methods, and explores public goods supply in rural areas in the context of the new rural construction from the perspective of the supply efficiency. This study analyzes the experience of the efficiency of public goods supply in rural areas from Japan, South Korea, the United States, and India from the perspective of the supply subjects, capital raising, institutional protection, specific measures and gains access to the supply subjects, supply methods, decision-making mechanism, the supply content and channels and many other aspects of useful suggestions. This study comparatively analyzes the times background, the supply subjects and the efficiency of the supply mechanism of rural public goods supply during different stages by means of dividing the historical evolution of rural public goods supply in our country into four periods, that is, when New China Was Founded, when the People's Commune System was implemented, the time during Household Contract Responsibility System and the Rural Tax Reform period. In the analysis of the supply subjects, the supply efficiency of the governmental and non-governmental supply subjects is discussed; while in the analysis of the supply mechanism efficiency, the efficiency of decision-making mechanism, demand-preference reveal mechanism, fund-raising mechanism, and incentive and restraint mechanisms is discussed. According to the connotation and objective of the new rural construction, this study investigates into the relationship between production and development, an affluent life style, civilization township, cleanses and tidiness of the village, democratic management, and the efficiency of public goods in rural areas, proposes that the enhancement in the efficiency of public goods supply in rural areas is the strategic focus to the new rural construction; and through quantitative analysis proves the improvement in the efficiency of public goods supply in rural areas is an important guarantee for the construction of new countryside. Starting from the content of the efficiency of public goods supply in rural areas, this study makes a normative analysis of the efficiency of public goods supply in rural areas from three angles of costs and benefits, of supply and demand, and of priority, and does an empirical test to verify them. As there are many complex factors affecting the efficiency of public goods in rural areas in our country, which are analyzed and composed, on the basis of the two dimensions of supply and demand, and four layers of the macro-levels and the micro-levels in the process of the supply and demand, this study builds the "double-dimensional and four-layer model" for factors affecting the efficiency of rural public goods supply so that such factors can be comprehensively and profoundly examined.Finally, under the goals of the new rural construction, which is "production and development, an affluent life style, civilization township, cleanses and tidiness of the village, democratic management", this study sets costs and benefits, supply and demand, and priority order as the standard and starting point for the efficiency of public goods supply in rural areas, and based on the analysis from the double-dimensional and four-layer model for factors affecting the efficiency of public goods supply in rural areas, proposals the countermeasures and suggestions for augmenting the efficiency of public goods supply in rural areas, that is, to build the multi-supply system of rural public goods; to reduce the cost of public goods in rural areas and to improve the efficiency; to achieve the balance between supply and demand for rural public goods; to reasonably establish the priority order for public goods supply in rural areas.
