Since the reform and opening up,the level of economic development in China has increased rapidly.However,a large number of "debts" have accumulated in the public service sector.The fundamental reason is that local governments are more inclined to use the incentive of political promotion as the core of assessment.Regional financial resources are invested in the area of infrastructure construction that can be included in the current production function rather than the livelihood of the people.Therefore,correcting the selective preference for local government fiscal expenditure is key issue for improving the development of China's civil service public service.With regard to study of this issue,the current research perspective is mainly based on the reform of the fiscal decentralization system from the top down in the system.Then,in addition,can we find a kind of external constraint(or supervision)from the bottom up in the system to amend the local government's negative incentives?This is the core issue of this study.This study believes that the development of modem information and communication technologies(ICTs)such as the Internet can become an external constraint on the negative incentives for local governments to restrict external governments.First,the development of modern information and communication technologies such as the Internet has greatly reduced the cost of manufacturing information and transmission costs,weakened the information asymmetry between local governments and residents,facilitated the supervision of local residents public decision-making,and improved public participation in local government participation.This ability,which in the end is conducive to residents growing public service appeals for the people's livelihood,affects public decision-making by local governments,and in turn increases investment in public services for the people's livelihood.Second,corruption is an important cause of distorting the structure of public expenditure of local governments.Since infrastructure construction investment projects have more room for corruption and public welfare public service projects such as education,culture,and social guarantees have limited room for corruption and are highly difficult to corrupt,local governments are more inclined to use fiscal considerations based on their own interests.Resources are invested in infrastructure construction projects rather than public welfare public service projects.Therefore,strengthening supervision to increase the cost of corruption can change the cost-benefit function of official corruption,which can curb corruption and correct the distorted public expenditure structure of local governments.The free and open information and communication technologies such as the Internet,the ease of information transmission and anonymity,and the construction of the local government network government have greatly improved the transparency of information of local governments and officials,curbed the discretionary power of local governments,and helped to reduce corruption.Therefore,modern information and communication technologies such as the Internet can,through corruption control,encourage local governments to increase investment in public services for the people's livelihood.Finally,modern information and communication technologies such as the Internet have enhanced residents appeals and concerns for public services for the people's livelihood.Local governments have been forced to devote more public resources to promote the development of local public services.The stronger expression of self-expression by the Internet users and the more radical political expression have prompted residents to pay more attention to the public service of the people's livelihood and their interest appeal is stronger,while the Internet platforms constructed by modem information and communication technologies such as the same interests in different regions.Residents of the appeal have linked together to exert pressure on the interest of the local government,and even under the influence of the polarization of the Internet community,non-institutional political participation has occurred.The interest appeals of residents livelihoods pose a greater public opinion pressure on local governments under the magnification of the Internet.This urges local governments to respond to residents demands for public services and to improve the development of local public services.Based on the above theoretical mechanism analysis,this paper uses the provincial panel data and CGSS2013 microdata respectively,and uses the System GMM estimation,mediation effect,PVAR model,Panel threshold model,Order-Probit model and IV-Probit model to measure the theoretical mechanisms.The empirical test results show that the development of modem information and communication technologies such as the Internet can enhance the local government's investment in public services for local people's livelihoods;the improvement of local modem information and communication technology's communication capabilities can curb corruption and further promote the development of public services for local people's livelihood;increasing the frequency of Internet use to increase residents dissatisfaction and attention to public services,which have prompted local governments to increase their investment in public services for the people's livelihood.Therefore,in the context of the network society,improving the level of local public services for the development of public services for people's livelihoods and fiscal construction requires not only improving China's fiscal system through top-down institutional reforms,but also increasing the intensity of network social construction.The bottom-up perspective enhances the external constraints of local governments to curb the negative incentives of local governments.In this way,the development of livelihood finance will be able to form a path of development that complements the internal institutional reforms and external technological constraints.
