摘要：借鉴市场化补偿机制设立的生态转移支付制度逐渐成为协调地方政府绿色发展的重要财政工具。从政府竞争的视角，使用中国省级面板数据构建空间自回归（SAR）模型，识别地方政府在基本公共服务供给中的策略性竞争行为特征，检验生态转移支付的基本公共服务供给效应，探讨生态转移支付对地方政府空间策略性竞争行为的影响。研究发现，中国地方政府间的基本公共服务供给在空间
上具有“模仿竞争”的策略性互动行为，生态转移支付不仅对基本公共服务供给具有激励效应，还会强化地区间的策略性竞争行为，并且该影响从西部地区向东部地区依次减弱。基于此，本研究从建立良性竞争环境、完善转移支付制度及健全考核体系等方面提出政策建议。

Abstract: Ecological transfer payment system based on market-oriented compensation mechanism has gradually become an important financial tool to coordinate the green development of local governments. From the perspective ofgovernment competition, this paper uses China’s provincial panel data to build a spatial autoregressive model to identify the strategic competitive behavior characteristics of local governments in the supply of basic public services.Moreover, this paper also texts the effect of ecological transfer payment on the supply of basic public services and discusses the influence of ecological transfer payment on the spatial strategic competition behavior of local governments.It is found that the supply of basic public services between local governments in China has a strategic interaction behavior of“imitation competition”in space. Ecological transfer payment not only has an incentive effect on the supplyof basic public services, but also strengthens the strategic competition behavior between regions, and the influenceweakens from the western region to the eastern region. Based on this, this studyproposes policy suggestionssuch as establishing a positive competitive environment, improving the transfer payment system, and strengthening the assessment framework.
