摘　　要：公共服务满意度的研究关系到对当前公共服务财政体制有效性和地方政府绩效的评估。本文以基础教育和医疗服务作为考察对象,检验了分权体制下县级政府财政自主权对公共服务满意度的影响。本文发现:(1)财政自主权的增强在概率上增加了居民满意公共服务的可能性,这种作用是通过促进公共服务项目投入的资金效率而不是增加支出水平实现的;(2)财政自主权的影响存在地区异质性,在相对不发达地区,财政自主权的作用更强。因此,通过引入居民公共服务满意度评价并增加地方政府的财政自主权,能够增强地方政府提供公共服务的有效性,在欠发达地区更应实施这项改革。The study on citizens＇ satisfaction with public services helps evaluation the efficiency of fiscal system for public service provision and the performance of local governments. Taking primary education and medical service as study cases, this paper examines the impact of county-level fiscal autonomy on citizens ＇ satisfaction with public services in China. Results find that ： （ 1 ） Local fiscal autonomy has a significant effect to promote the level of citizens＇ satisfaction with public services. This is achieved by efficiency gains of public input, rather than increasing absolute level or share of the related expenditures; （2） There is between-jurisdiction heterogeneity effect that fiscal autonomy produces a stronger influence on poorer counties. According to the evidence, by introducing citizens＇ satisfaction with public services and being given ample revenue autonomous authority, local governments can improve the efficiency in the provision of public services, and the reform is more necessary in poorer regions.
