摘　　要：政府规模的膨胀是否源于贸易开放?在学术界仍是一个充满争议的话题。本文基于中国1997-2013年中国省际面板数据,利用工具变量和GMM估计研究了贸易开放、要素禀赋对政府规模的影响。结果表明:传统研究中贸易开放和要素禀赋对政府规模的影响被低估,政府在贸易开放中扮演"守夜人"角色,贸易开放对政府规模的膨胀有明显抑制作用,而要素禀赋对政府规模的扩张有显著的促进作用,且两者间存在一定的替代效应。此外,两者对政府规模的影响呈现显著区域差异。这一结论在考虑到不同的代理指标和样本特征影响后依然稳健。基于上述结论,本文就贸易开放、要素禀赋和政府规模的协调发展提出相关政策和建议。Does the expansion of government scale come from trade openness？ It is still a controversial topic in the academic community. Based on the provincial panel data of China from 1997- 2013, using the instrumental variables and GMM estimation to conduct a study of the impact of trade openness and factor endowment on government scale. The results show that the impact of trade openness and factor endowment on government scale is underestimated, Government plays a role of ＂night guarder＂ in trade openness, trade openness has a significant inhibitory effect on the expansion of government scale while the factor endowment has a significant promoting effect on the expansion of government scale, and there is a certain substitution effect between the two factors. In addition, the impact of the trade openness and factor endowment on government scale has a significant regional difference. This conclusion remains robust after taking into account the different proxies and sample characteristics. Based on the conclusions, this paper puts forward relevant policy and suggestions on the development of the trade openness, factor endowment and government scale.
