Research on the Implementation of Policies for Interdisciplines Set Up Autonomously by Universities from the Perspective of Principal-Agent Theory:Deviations,Causes and Governance Mechanisms
The"principal-agent"theory derived from economics provides an inspiring perspective for analyzing the implementation of interdisciplinary policies.Under the perspective of principal-agent the-ory,there are conflicts of interest and information asymmetry between the principal and the agent of in-terdisciplinary policy.Discretion in policy enforcement and information filtering,insufficient incentives for policy"principals"to"agents,"and the difficulty of principals to supervise effectively lead to policy implementation deviation.Specific manifestations include selective implementation,alternative imple-mentation and symbolic implementation of policies.Referring to the principal-agent theory,the ways to mitigate the policy implementation deviation are as follows.First,strengthen top-level design and build a normative mechanism for interdisciplinary settings.Second,optimize the construction environment and improve the policy implementation incentive mechanism.Third,deepen horizontal supervision and improve the policy implementation supervision mechanism.
