Normative construction of the central-local distribution mechanism of natural resource assets income
The rational construction of the central-local distribution mechanism of natural resource assets income has a positive effect on rationalizing the relationship between the central and local natural resource assets income bodies,realizing the rights and interests of natural resource owners,enhancing the ecological compensation capacity of the natural resource development regions,and contributing to the growth in the scale and scientific utilization of natural resource assets income at the central and local levels.In the current sys-tem,the implementation of the central-local distribution mechanism of natural resource assets income is based on the central-local de-centralized natural resource asset management framework and presents a regulatory structure in which local income is dominant.Under this regulatory structure,on the one hand,the natural resource governance authority and natural resource management responsibilities after the central-local decentralization cannot be connected with the central-local income distribution results,resulting in an imbalance of central-local natural resource asset management rights,responsibilities,and benefits.On the other hand,it also restricts the national macroeconomic regulation ability of natural resource assets income,leads to a lack of national ownership income,and increases the risk of regional 'resource curse' economic growth and uneven allocation of resource returns among regions.The income central-local alloca-tion mechanism needs to be constructed in a standardized manner,aiming to achieve a balance of power,responsibility,and interests in the management of central-local natural resource assets through income distribution.In terms of pathways,we should start with the opti-mization and adjustment of the relationship between the central and local authorities in the management of natural resource assets,es-tablish a mechanism for the central government to dominate and control the natural resource assets income,and set up a mechanism for the flexible income management of the central and local authorities based on the division of authorities.We should also ensure that the natural resource assets income is distributed between central and local authorities in an orderly and efficient manner,and this should be achieved by implementing a mechanism for the integration of central and local authorities and responsibilities,a mechanism for flexible division of authorities and responsibilities,a mechanism for flexible retention of the income by localities,a mechanism for horizontal and vertical flow of income between the central and local authorities,and a mechanism for scientific management of locally retained in-come.
