项目摘要

I.Ihave systematically surveyed the economic analyzes with respect to local governmemts, local public finance and public choice which had been developed in the decentralized system or countries.(i) The total result was published as the book ; Public Choice and Decentralization.(ii) The theoretical framework of a collective decision-making for local residents was built and clarified. And empirical literature focusing on the collective choice from the viewpoint of allocative efficiency were examined. These two studies were published as a paper and adsorbed into a part of the book above mentioned.(iii) The translation of Fiscal Federalism written by W.E.Oates, which is a bible textbook in the field of local government economics, was published. I have taken a leadership of this work for several tears.II.Based on the theory and analytical results of decentralized local public finance, I have tried to apply those ideas to local public finance in Japan.(i) The theory of local public goods was applied to the arguments of community welfare system in Japan, and the possibility of the decentralized system was discussed at the academic meeting and also published as a paper.(ii) The decentralization theory presented by Oates was applied to the policy argument of fiscal decentralization in Japan as the title of the paper : the economic effect of decentralization.(iii) In the prefecture level, the demand function for local public goods was estimated, which is the main idea of the decentralization theory. This result was introduced in some chapter of the book mentioned above, and more analysis is being in progress.(iv) The argument of the flypaper effect, which is about the effect of intergovernmental grants on local government expenditure, was applied to the Japanese grant system and empirically estimated. This paper was finally accepted and published in German journal.

一、系统地考察了分权体制或国家中有关地方政府、地方公共财政和公共选择的经济分析。公共选择与分权。(ii)建立并明确了当地居民集体决策的理论框架。并对从配置效率的角度关注集体选择的实证文献进行了审查。这两篇研究成果以论文形式发表，并被纳入上述书中的一部分。（三）出版了W.E.Oates译着的《财政联邦制》，这是地方政府经济学领域的圣经教科书。我领导了这项工作，泪流满面。二、基于分权型地方公共财政的理论和分析结果，我试图将这些思想应用到日本的地方公共财政中。（一）地方公共产品理论应用于日本社区福利制度的论证，并在学术会议上讨论了分权制度的可能性，并以论文形式发表。（二）奥茨提出的分权理论应用于财政分权的政策论证在日本作为论文的标题： (iii)在地级市层面，对地方公共产品的需求函数进行估计，这是分权理论的主要思想。这一结果在上述书中的一些章节中有所介绍，更多的分析正在进行中。（iv）关于政府间赠款对地方政府支出影响的粘蝇纸效应的论证被应用于日本的赠款系统和经验估计。这篇论文最终被德国杂志接受并发表。
