Research on the Evaluation of Financial Input-Output Efficiency and Development Path of Mass Sports in China
This study employs the DEA-Malmquist model to measure the fiscal input-output efficiency of mass sports across 31 provinces,municipalities,and autonomous regions in China.Subsequently,a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis(fsQCA)is utilized to examine the configurational pathways influencing efficiency disparities.The key findings are as follows:(1)The total factor productivity in fiscal input-output efficiency for mass sports exhibits an upward trend nationwide;(2)No single variable is a necessary condition for driving high efficiency in fiscal development for mass sports,although economic and organizational factors play a generally supportive role;(3)Analysis of internal correlations within configurational pathways reveals five high-efficiency models:the"economic-organizational"driver,the"economic"enabler,the"environmental-economic"motivator,the"organizational-environmental"leader,and the"organizational-environmental-economic"coupling model.Moving forward,local governments should increase fiscal support for mass sports,optimize budget structures and transfer payment systems,and strengthen monitoring and evaluation mechanisms to enhance fiscal input-output efficiency in mass sports.
