Research On The Improper Role Of Local Government In The Investment Process

Since the reform and opening up,People’s governments at all levels have attached great importance to the work of attracting investment.Local governments have attracted a lot of foreign investment by formulating preferential tax policies,"going out" to attract investment and "inviting in" to hold investment promotion meetings.Local economy has also made great achievements,which is gradually regarded as a shortcut with less investment and quick results by local governments.In the period when the socialist market economic system has just been established,this mode of investment promotion led by the government is more favorable.It not only brings a lot of fiscal and tax revenue and employment opportunities to local governments,but also promotes the rapid growth of local industries and economy.However,with the rapid progress and development of socialist economy,the management system of market economy has gradually matured in our country.It is biased that the government still leads the investment attraction which belongs to the market behavior.Under the system of socialist market economy,the means and ways for the government to attract investment for enterprises should be given way to the operation of socialist market economy through the intervention of administrative departments.However,some local governments in China still firmly grasp the leading power of attracting investment,that is,the "rowers" have something to "steer",some things that should have been done did not work hard,did not do it well,but still continue to do what should not be done,resulting in the inaccurate role positioning of local governments,which has seriously restricted the healthy development of national and local social economy.Therefore,how to scientifically position the role of the local government in the work of attracting investment has become a subject that must be deeply studied and explored.Based on the literature review and Research on the government’s correct role in attracting investment,relying on the two core concepts of "attracting investment and local government’s attracting investment",and referring to the relevant theoretical basis of "Public choice theory 、 new public management theory、 service-oriented government theory",this paper puts forward the logical idea of optimizing the path from the theoretical basis-problem research-Dilemma Analysis,and comprehensively analyzes the problems Combined with the method of empirical cases to clarify the current role of the government in attracting investment problems,and analyze the optimization path.Taking Qingpu District Government of Shanghai as an example,combined with the study of new public management theory and service-oriented government theory,this paper puts forward that the correct positioning of government in attracting investment should be: the maker of industrial policy,the builder of business environment,the supervisor of market order,and the cultivator of investment intermediary.Through research and analysis,the main reasons for the improper role of local government in attracting investment are: unreasonable department setting,unreasonable performance appraisal system,imperfect access supervision mechanism and so on.In view of this kind of improper role of the government,this paper puts forward some solutions: changing the performance evaluation standards of cadres,improving the industry access mechanism,optimizing the investment promotion system and mechanism,giving play to the role of policy guidance,cultivating intermediary investment promotion institutions,etc.This paper intends to make a scientific positioning of the role of the government in attracting investment,so as to put forward the realization path of promoting the scientific positioning of the role oflocal government in attracting investment.To promote the local government to play its due role in attracting investment,to ensure the basic role of the market in the allocation of resources,to optimize the allocation of resources,so as to promote the social and economic development to a higher level.
