Thinking of Government Administrative Cost from the Perspective of Law and Economics

Government administrative cost is the administrative input or consumed resources when the government provides certain public services. For a long time,in our government administrative activities,the concept of administrative cost is not truly set up. The supervision mechanism is not perfect,causing problems like high administrative costs,administrative personnel overstaffed,and unsicentific administrative decision. Therefore,we must start from updating the concept of administrative cost of the government,increase the intensity of the transformation of government functions,improve scientific and democratic decision-making system,strengthen supervision and standardize the financial budget and operation system,and control three expenditures budget,so as to ultimately achieve the goal of constructing a competent,honest and efficient government in China.
