A Study On The Self-interest Tendency Of Government-behavior In The Poverty-relief Development

"Poverty" is one of most significant social problems which all countries face. With the country reforming and opening in the past 20 years, to alleviate and eliminate absolute poverty, our country has done the fruitful poverty-relief development work through the powerful national motion and the economical reform. According to the national countryside impoverished condition monitor investigation by the State Statistical Bureau, the population of the absolute poverty people in the countryside has reduced from 250 million in 1978 to 26.1 million in 2004, reaching the historical huge achievement On the other hand, the poverty-relief investment is inefficient and the effect is not ideal in the country. The government takes the main body in helping the poor, but for its own benefit, its behavior is contrary to the subject and the objective. So some phenomena, such as so-called "the image project", "the gift project", and occupying and diverting the poverty-relief fund, have appeared. How to carry on effective dodging to its behavior in terms of its own benefit in the government poverty-relief institution is a practice problem urgently to be solved.The article's research begins with three premise suppositions: Government "economic man" of the public choice theory supposition; New system economic behavior supposition; Under representative system trustee -agent's information not symmetrical supposition. Based on the recognition of the three premise suppositions, according to the passage, the government behavior takes on self-benefit tendency in the poverty-relief development. It analyzes specifically the performance and the influence of the government self-benefit in poverty-relief development, and points out that it is the government self-benefit that causes the investment to be inefficient and the effect is not ideal.We should correctly distinguish the self-benefit tendency that the government behavior presents in the course of the poverty-relief development: Reasonable self-benefit and unreasonable self-benefit To reasonable self-benefit, we should protect it by law, because it is the premise the government exists and gives full play to its functions .Besides, it is one of the stimulus factors of the government behavior.And the effective self-control of the government self-benefit is advantageous in the enhancement of the government's administrative ability and efficiency. On the other hand, to unreasonable self-benefit, according to the problems discussed above, we should try to perfect and strengthen the poverty-relief surveillance to carry on dodges: thoroughly discussed the arrangement about how to limit the self-benefit of the government behavior in the poverty-relief developmentWith the Studies above, we expect that it can give some advice on the poverty-relief work and it can enhance the investment efficiency and eliminate absolute poverty as soon as possible.
