A Study On Chinese Administrative Cost From The View Of Saving-type Government

Since the 70s of the 20^th century,along with the development of western coutries' reform movements.Administrative costs have inceasingly become the dominant recearch issue in the subject recearches whose rearch object is governments. Admistritive academics use the theory of new public management as the support,and recommend to use the private sector management methods to manage the government in order to improve administrative efficiency.Politics academics in the idea of limited government theory criticize the highness of administrative costs and cut down on the cost under above context.With the impact of governance transition,in order to adapt socio-economic system trans-formation, with the past administritive system reforms in the last century,our courtry would always mention about the highness of adminiestrition costs on the basis of the transformation of government functions.And the establishment of clean,efficient service-oriented,and saving-type government.The seventeenth session of people's congress of CPC put forward public expenditure system to cut administrative cost,avoid its overgrowth and quicken the construction of saving-type government.During the process of functional act of government, it's true that it has to consume some natural and social resources.Nowadays,our government's high administration cost is really a waste of social resources, which is not also inconsistent to saving-type government,but also incompatible to the idea of administrative reform.With the collection of relative large literature and the combination of theoretical analysis,this paper has drawn the pith of theoretical circle in the demo-stration process,literature study and analytic demonstration methods,through the definition of administration cost and saving-type government,and a rationalized path of cutting down high cost is brought forward by analyzing status quo and the hidden reasons.Theoretically,through the study,upon the hypothesis of "rational people" and by taking the cross-disciplinary method like the use of the knowledge of public management,public economics,politics and so on. Realistically,based on current situation of our government,this paper raised feasible plan to cut governmental administrative cost,which has great theoretical significance and practical significance.Under the background of constructing saving-type government and based on studying our administrative cost,this paper treats of such issue through four parts:The first part is about its context,significance and study methods.The second part is general analytical demonstration of the cost and saving-type government and their relations,and then analyses the cost by the way of new public management,property right and public selection theory.The third part is to describe the status quo of higher admini- strative cost and to make a analysis of main factors such as influences of traditional culture, irrational administrative budget,weak supervisory mechanism,inexpedient decision-making mechanism and faulty performance-assessing system.The last part is about saving administrative cost in consideration of the very high costs of our government, and offers the countermeasures of controlling it.
