Quantitative Research on Government Attention Allocation from Sentiment Analysis Perspective:Based on the Government Work Report
[Purpose/Significance]Government attention shows the decision-makers'reaction to specific issues,and its allocation can reflect the inherent laws of policy changes and policy ideology of decision-makers.Quantitative analysis of government attention allocation is a current research trend,but it is mostly based on key words statistics in policy texts,ignoring the emotional tendencies contained in it,thus affecting the fine granularity of the analysis.De-gree words in Chinese policy texts can reflect the emotional attitude of decision-makers.The LAS policy text rating dictionary on degree words can measure the allocation of government attention in more detail from an emotional per-spective.[Method/Process]The government work report is an important document of our government's work deploy-ment and also an intuitive presentation of the government's attention allocation.Taking the government work report from 1978 to 2022 as the research text,this paper combined sentiment analysis with thematic analysis to analyze the overall characteristics and changing trends of our government's attention allocation since the reform and opening up.[Result/Conclusion]Research shows that it is feasible and effective to quantify government attention allocation with the LAS policy text rating degree dictionary from sentiment analysis,which provides a new perspective for public management and policy research.It finds that Chinese government policymakers have long paid attention to the work relating to agriculture,rural areas and rural residents,and science and technology education.At the same time,they will adjust the attention allocation to specific tasks,such as ecological environment,medical and health,based on the development stage,international environment,public emergencies,etc.
