摘　　要：基于2007—2017年的省级面板数据,从基本公共服务支出规模和支出偏好双重视角检验经济增长目标设定对基本公共服务供给的影响及政府间竞争的调节效应。研究表明:(1)在经济增长目标约束下,地方政府会扩大基本公共服务支出规模,但也会表现出"轻公共服务"的偏好,且政府间的竞争会强化这种效应。(2)异质性研究显示,在经济增长目标约束下,东部地区基本公共服务支出规模仍有明显增加,但西部地区的经济目标设置对基本公共服务支出产生了明显负效应;具有"软约束"特征的经济增长目标有利于增加基本公共服务支出规模,降低对基本公共服务支出偏好的负向影响。(3)空间效应研究显示,经济增长目标设定不仅对本地区基本公共服务支出偏好具有负向影响,对邻近地区也存在显著的空间溢出效应。因此,应设立激励相容的经济增长目标,激励地方政府投资长远利好的公共服务项目,对不同地区采取差异化的考核策略,以均衡增加我国的基本公共服务供给。Based on the provincial panel data from 2007-2017,this study aims to examine the impact of economic growth target on the provision of basic public services and the moderating effect of inter-governmental competition from the dual perspectives of the scale and the preference of basic public services expenditure. It is found that under the constraint on economic growth target,local governments will scale up expenditure on basic public services,but will still show a preference for lesser public services,and inter-governmental competition will reinforce this effect. Heterogeneity studies show that under the constraint on economic growth target,the scale of expenditure on basic public services increases in the eastern region of the country,while the economic target setting in the western region has an obvious negative effect on its basic public service expenditure;the economic growth target featured with"soft constraint"is conducive to increasing the scale of expenditure on basic public services and reducing the negative incentive to preferable expenditure on basic public services. The spatial effect study shows that the setting of growth target not only has a negative impact on the spending preferences for basic public services in the region,but also has a significant spatial spillover effect on neighboring regions. For this reason,it is necessary to set compatible economic growth target,motivate local governments to invest in public service projects with long-term benefits,and adopt different assessment strategies for different regions in order to increase China’s supply of basic public services in a balanced manner.
