摘　　要：本文应用1978-2012年陕西省宏观经济数据来验证政府规模和经济增长之间是否符合Armey曲线,并根据实证分析确定最优政府规模。实证结果表明,陕西省政府规模和经济增长之间是一种倒"U"型的非线性关系,符合Armey曲线,并存在一个最优政府规模,体现为政府支出占GDP的22%。因此,从长期经济发展来看,最好避免过度使用经济刺激政策,在经济转型过程中,要坚持减少政府对市场的干预,将政府规模控制在有效履行政府必要职能的范围内。This paper attempts to verify if there exists the Armey curve relationship between government size and economic growth in Shaanxi province using data from 1978-2012.
