摘要

本文利用日本1960 - 2003年的区域数据，对三种类型的政府项目形成的公共资本的生产效应进行了估计:(1)由中央政府直接实施的项目(中央政府项目)，(2)由地方政府实施，但通过中央政府补贴诱导的项目(补贴地方项目)，(3)由地方政府实施，没有中央补贴的项目(无补贴地方项目)。结果表明，无补贴的地方项目是三种类型中生产率最高的。此外，受补贴的地方项目的生产力最低，效率低于中央项目。这可能表明，在日本政府间转移支付制度下，中央对地方项目的补贴存在效率低下的因素。

Comparison of the productivity of public capital by project type: Central-government, subsidized-local, and unsubsidized-local projects in Japan

Using a panel of Japanese regional data from 1960 to 2003, we estimated the production effect of public capital formed through three types of government projects: (1) projects directly implemented by the central government (central-government projects), (2) projects that are implemented by local governments but induced through subsidies by the central government (subsidized-local projects), and (3) projects that are implemented by local governments without central subsidies (unsubsidized-local projects). The results showed that the unsubsidized-local projects were the most productive among the three types. In addition, the subsidized-local projects were found to be the least productive, being less effective than the central projects. This may suggest the existence of inefficiency factors that central subsidization for local projects entails under the Japanese system of intergovernmental transfers.

期刊介绍： The increase in Japan share of international trade and financial transactions has had a major impact on the world economy in general and on the U.S. economy in particular. The new economic interdependence between Japan and its trading partners created a variety of problems and so raised many issues that require further study. Japan and the World Economy will publish original research in economics, finance, managerial sciences, and marketing that express these concerns.
