Research On The Third Party Evaluation Of Local Government Performance From The Perspective Of Mechanism Design Theory

Since the 1970 s,with the continuous development of the new public management movement and the continuous deepening of administrative management reforms,the introduction of independent third party assessments in government performance management activities has increasingly become an important means of measuring the public services at all levels of government.Since China's entry into the 21 st century,the forms of government performance evaluation at all levels have also been innovating.Third party evaluations with objectivity and professionalism have been widely used in the specific practice of government performance evaluation with their objectivity and professionalism.However,the third party evaluation of the performance of local governments in China is still in the exploratory stage,and there are still many dilemmas that need to be resolved urgently during the evaluation process,affecting the effectiveness and effectiveness of third party evaluation.The theory of mechanism design was mainly used in the economic field at first,mainly under the conditions of decentralized decisionmaking,incomplete information,voluntary exchange and free choice,to study the possibility,effectiveness,advantages and disadvantages of mechanism design.The mechanism design theory has developed rapidly,and its scope of application has been continuously expanded.In 2007,it won the Nobel Prize in Economics.Its core theory also has strong guiding significance for analyzing and optimizing the third-party evaluation of local government performance.This article applies the mechanism design theory to the research on the third party evaluation of local government performance.Taking the third-party evaluation of government performance conducted by the H agency in Changchun as an example,it analyzes the problems existing in the third-party evaluation of government performance in China at this stage.The principle proposes an optimization policy.Research shows that although the third party evaluation of local government performance in China is quite effective,there are still problems that need to be further solved,such as asymmetry of subject and object information,unclear incentive measures,low evaluation effectiveness,and formal evaluation.In this way,the impartiality and binding force of third party assessments must be greatly reduced.However,third party evaluation plays an indispensable role in government performance management.In order to ensure its function,it is necessary to strengthen the design of the system and use the three core views of information efficiency,incentive compatibility and implementation theory in mechanism design theory to improve the third party evaluation system,improve the information disclosure system,strengthen incentives,improve supporting implementation mechanisms,and improve the effectiveness of third party evaluation of local government performance.
