| 摘 要： | 本文运用1986～2002年期间48个村庄的面板数据，研究了农村基层选举对村委会问责、地方财政以及国家税收的影响。我们发现，选举增加了村庄预算中公共支出的比例，减少了行政支出以及上交给乡镇政府的份额。这说明选举强化了村委会的问责，但削弱了地方财政能力，因此可能损害超出村庄范围的公共品供应。在控制农村税改之后，选举对人均税收没有显著影响，因此，选举没有减弱国家对基层社会的控制。最后，我们没有发现选举的竞争性对结果有显著影响。

| Abstract: | This paper studies the impacts of village elections on the accountability of the village committee, local fiscal sharing, and state taxation in rural China using data of 48 villages for the period of 1986-2002. Elections are found to substantially increase the share of public expenditures in the village budget, but reduce the shares of administrative costs and income handed to the township government. Those findings suggest that elections have enhanced the accountability of the village committee, but weakened local fiscal sharing and the state's grip. No strong evidence is found that state taxation is affected by elections, nor it is found that the role of a more competitive election is different from that of a closed election. |
