Fiscal Policy Research In Beijing To Promote The Construction Of The Main Functional Areas

In the past thirty years of reform and opening up, the whole country including Beijing,was in pursuit of economic growth, mean while the land development was disorder andinefficient, which resulting a series of regional development issues: the destruction of theecological environment, wasting of natural resources, chaos of industrial and urbanlocation, growing gap between urban and rural and so on. Such problems threat thestability of society and prohibit building a resource-saving and environment-friendlysociety. To this end, our government proposed the concept of the main functional areas,and hope that could balance regional development and reverse the ecological damagethrough the construction of the main functional areas.Since the main functional areas is our innovation, there is no direct theoretical systemto follow. By analysing western regional economic theory, this paper aims to find thelinks between it and the main functional areas, and also its application in the mainfunctional areas, so that to use it as a theoretical basis for the main functional areas. Thispaper studies the fiscal policy balanced regional development used by the United States,France, and Japan to find common ground and experiences for Beijing’s construction ofthe main functional areas. Finally, based on the analysis Beijing’ construction process ofmain functional areas, combined with the experience of developed country, this paperproposes a fiscal policy framework of Beijing’s main functional areas construction, as wellas a reasonable political performance evaluation system, transfer payment policy,technological innovation fiscal policy, migration fiscal policy and ecological compensationfiscal policy.
