Red Tourism Support Policies and County Fiscal Responsiveness:A Policy Evaluation Based on the Construction of Red Tourism Classic Scenic Spots
Making positive and effective responses to the public needs of members of society is an important function of government governance.Using the county panel data from 2003 to 2021,based on the perspective of the supply of livelihood public goods,we systematically examines whether the red tourism support policy can strengthen the response of local governments to the preferences of livelihood needs,thereby expanding the social value of the red tourism.It is found that the government's support for the development of red tourism can significantly improve the supply of livelihood public goods such as education,medical care and health by local governments,that is,strengthen the fiscal responsiveness of county-level governments.Mechanism identification found that the government's support for the development of red tourism promotes the supply of public services by local governments by easing budget constraints and enhancing political incentives.Heterogeneity analysis found that the red tourism support policy has a more significant role in promoting the fiscal response of local governments in areas with a large number of fiscally supported populations and poor locational endowments.To this end,the red tourism industry support policy should be further improved,and the social and economic benefits of red tourism should be maximized according to local conditions based on the differences in regional resource endowments,so as to promote the high-quality development of the county economies.
