Abstract

With China's rapid economic and social development, the welfare protection of financial expenditure on people's livelihood is gaining more and more attention from the public, and improving the efficiency of financial expenditure is an important means to enhance government performance and people's satisfaction. This paper uses a three-stage DEA approach to measure and analyse the efficiency of local education and healthcare expenditure in Shanghai, and the study finds that environmental factors have a significant impact on financial expenditure efficiency. After excluding environmental and random factors, this paper calculates the true efficiency values of education and healthcare expenditure in Shanghai from 2015 to 2019 by three-stage DEA model, along with the total factor productivity of the true efficiency values using the Malmquist index method. The results show that the difference in the overall efficiency of people's livelihood fiscal expenditures in Shanghai is caused by technical efficiency, while the technological progress index is the main factor that leads to a decrease in the efficiency of total factor expenditures year by year. In terms of the overall trend, the adjusted overall efficiency has been increasing with the change of years, with the average value rising from a low of 0.839 in 2016 to 0.941 in 2019, an increase of more than 0.1, indicating that the efficiency of the Shanghai government's resource allocation is improving over time. Therefore, local governments should focus on improving the structure and management efficiency of fiscal funds, improving the level of budgeting and continuously improving performance management.
