The Efficiency of Rural Public Finance Inputs in Promoting Rural Revitalization: Empirical Analysis Based on Henan Province, China

Abstract

The No.1 document of the Central Government of China has been on the theme of "agriculture, rural areas and farmers" for nearly ten years, placing the solution of "agriculture, rural areas and farmers" at the forefront of the Chinese government's work. Located in the Central Plains, Henan Province in China is one of the major agricultural provinces in China and plays an extremely important role in the field of agricultural production in China. This paper uses an empirical approach and the DEA-Malquist model to study the efficiency of rural public financial inputs to rural revitalisation in Henan Province. The results show that due to different levels of regional economic development, the efficiency of rural public finance investment in Henan Province in promoting rural revitalisation varies, and there is a phenomenon of unreasonable allocation of funds. At the same time, the region's agricultural base also has a greater impact on the efficiency of financial investment. Therefore, Henan Province should adjust measures according to the different regional economic levels and agricultural bases to improve the efficiency of the use of fiscal funds.

Enhancing Internal Control Mechanisms in Local Government Organizations: A Crucial Step towards Mitigating Corruption and Ensuring Economic Development

“…Revenue department organization: The organization of the revenue departments within local government organizations (LGOs) plays a crucial role in shaping their operational efficiencies and effectiveness. Studies such as Tu et al (2023) have emphasized the importance of the organizational structure in enhancing revenue collection and management processes. Factors such as the size of the department, the clarity of staff duties, and the level of cooperation with other municipal departments have been identified as significant determinants of the revenue department performance (Kloot and Martin 2000;Simiyu 2012).…”

Does digital village construction contribute to improving food security?

“…However, China's food production still suffers from spatial fragmentation, poor infrastructure, high transportation costs, serious pollution of agricultural land, and prominent food losses and waste (Luo et al, 2023b;Hu et al, 2023), posing a great threat to food security (Holden and Ghebru, 2016;Liu and Zhou, 2021). Therefore, food security cannot be measured by yield availability alone, but also by factors such as the stability of food production, the sustainability of arable land, and rural fiscal utilization efficiency (Pinstrup-Andersen, 2009;Tu et al, 2023).…”
