Research On The Role And Mechanism Of National Economic Planning In Promoting High-Quality Development

The fourth plenary session of the 19 th CPC central committee in 2019 pointed out that the country's governance system and governance capacity are the embodiment of the socialism with Chinese characteristics and its ability to execute.National economic planning as the guide for governments at all levels to participate in economic construction is the most extensive and the most characteristic tool of modern national governance in China.National economic planning is originated from the First Five-Year Plan implemented in 1953.With the transformation of China's economic system,the management system of national economic planning is also undergoing continuous adaptive adjustment.In 2006,the formal implementation of the Eleventh Five-Year Plan marked the beginning of the era of planning management in China,which reflects a major shift in the party and government's development philosophy,goals and pattern.As a mixed governance system arrangement different from both "pure plan" and "pure market",national economic planning fully reflects the nature of the socialist market economy with Chinese characteristics and has played a vital role in the reform and development of China's economy,which is seen as the gateway to solving the riddle of China's rapid economic growth.At present,China is in a crucial period of transformation from High-Speed Growth to High-Quality Development.The constraint conditions of national economic development have undergone systematic and profound changes.The background of High-Quality Development calls for "high-quality" innovation in government planning and management.Therefore,we must consider whether national economic planning is endowed with the significance and value of the new era under the strategic background of High-Quality Development.In this regard,it is necessary to systematically answer the following questions: First,can national economic planning promote High-Quality Development? Second,how does the national economic plan promote High-Quality Development?It is the comprehensive,thorough and systematic,objective answers to the above questions that constitute the core content of this paper.As for question one,this paper studies the role of national economic planning in promoting High-Quality Development.In the theoretical analysis,starting from the basic theory of economics,this paper discusses the existence of market failure and government failure in High-Quality Development,and proposes that national economic planning can make up for the market failure and government failure in High-Quality Development,thus demonstrating the necessity of national economic planning to promote High-Quality Development.At the same time,this paper discusses the specific path of national economic planning to promote High-Quality Development from three aspects: the development concept,the development goal and the task arrangement.In the empirical research,this paper first uses the statistical descriptive analysis method to investigate the formulation and implementation of national economic planning and the High-Quality Development level of China.On this basis,this paper adopts econometrics research method to empirically test the role of national economic planning in promoting high-quality development from three paths of development concept,development goal and task arrangement.For question two,this paper studies the implementation mechanism of national economic planning to promote High-Quality Development.This paper carries out research on the above issues from two dimensions of government governance and market reform.For the study of government governance mechanism,in theory,this paper proposes that the combination of government governance system and national economic planning system forms the target governance mechanism and resource constraint mechanism.On the empirical basis,this paper empirically tests the effectiveness of the above mechanism by combining the data of provincial officials,provincial fiscal revenue decentralization and fiscal expenditure decentralization.On the study of the market-oriented reform mechanism,this paper theoretically discusses that the market-oriented reform can regulate the implementation direction of national economic planning and can improve the implementation efficiency of national economic planning from the two aspects of market supervision mechanism and competition mechanism.Empirically,this paper uses the market index of provinces to empirically test the effectiveness of the above mechanism.Following the technical route of inductive analysis to find the background of the problem,deductive analysis to deduce the theoretical basis,empirical analysis to provide empirical evidence and inductive analysis to summarize the conclusion of the full text,this paper carries out the following innovative contents:Innovations in theoretical research are as follows: Firstly,this paper seeks the connection of western economic theories for the theory of national economic planning.Based on the theory of externality,market failure,government failure and national economic planning,this paper demonstrates the necessity of national economic planning to promote High-Quality Development.Secondly,this paper provides a beneficial theoretical expansion for improving the national economic planning theory with the times.It is the first time in the context of High-Quality Development to study the governance effect of national economic planning.This provides the argument for the new era to better play our country's institutional advantages.Thirdly,this paper finds the theoretical support for the macro management of national economy from the perspective of micro selection of officials.This paper constructs a macro management model with micro basis of official behavior whose choice of behaviors is given incentives and constraints in order to find effective theoretical support for the government governance mechanism of national economic planning.The innovative contents of the empirical research are as follows: First,this paper constructs an evaluation method for the completion rate of planning indicators,then calculates the completion rate of planning indicators in each province during the period of “the 11 th five-year plan”,“the 12 th five-year plan” and “the 13 th five-year plan” by comparing the completion rate of 8432 specific indicators as scheduled.Secondly,based on the understanding of the connotation of High-Quality Development,this paper constructs a High-Quality Development evaluation index system from the perspective of Five Development Concepts,then measures and compares the High-Quality Development level of each province from 2007 to 2017.Thirdly,this paper applies the data of provincial officials and the index of marketization level to the test of the implementation mechanism of national economic planning for the first time,which provides empirical evidence for the "mutual integration and co-prosperity" mechanism between government and market.This paper not only promotes the theory of national economic planning to advance with the times under the background of High-Quality Development,but also provides a reform direction for improving China's planning governance capacity,and provides useful empirical evidence for the formulation and implementation of the "14th five-year plan".At the same time,this paper also seeks a Chinese plan with institutional advantages for achieving High-Quality Development,and summarizes the Chinese wisdom of "Mutual Integration and Co-prosperity" between the government and the market.Therefore,this paper has important theoretical value and practical significance.
