Multilevel transmission of policy signals and compliance of lower-level governments:An empirical study based on the case of environmental information disclosure
Policy signals are an important means of conveying the governance intentions of higher-level governments and motivating lower level governments to act in compliance.Analyzing the multi-level mechanism of policy signals and the environmental information disclosure behavior of city-level governments from 2008 to 2018,it was found that both upper-and middle-level governments'signals significantly affect the compliance behavior of lower-level governments.In the process of multi-level transmission,the influence of policy signals weakens with the increase of administrative level differences.The inconsistent signals transmitted in the intermediate links will weaken the signal effect of the upper-level governments.In the interactions,the"strong signal"of the upper-level government will flip the"inconsistent"signal of the middle-level governments,while the"weak signal"may be offset by the latter.On this basis,research conclusions and policy recommendations were proposed.
