“…Existing scholarship on the influencing factors of LES primarily focuses on topics such as public choice, fiscal decentralization, and political centralization theories [ 11 – 14 ] and uses demand expression, fiscal, and political centralization characteristics, and macroeconomic systems as explanatory factors. Previous studies have shown that, although China’s fiscal decentralization and competition have increased local economic and budgetary revenues and can increase productive government investment, they are not conducive to the total supply of public goods for livelihood [ 4 , 15 ].…”

Policymakers are increasingly focusing on structural adjustment and efficiency to cope with the pressures that the economic downturn has placed on local finances. Accordingly, the Chinese government should shift from using standard passive investments to high-quality active investments for its social guarantees, such as education. Based on panel data of 274 cities from 2010 to 2019, this study conducted the first examination of the impact of tax structure and government debt on the relative power of the local education supply (LES) in China. The study found that, first, in general, increases in the tax structure—represented by the proportion of personal income tax to budgetary revenue strengthen the relative power of LES, which is more sensitive in the southern region with a more developed market economy system. And the impact of government debt—represented by the urban investment debt ratio on the relative power of LES is initially negative and then positive. Second, the study revealed that the tax structure can stimulate the relative power of LES through the intermediary channel of an increase in the urban consumption rate; however, the mechanism of promoting the relative power of LES by encouraging localities to attract more floating populations is not obvious. Third, excessive investment in local governance adjusts the positive effect of local debt on the relative power of LES. Therefore, the government should pay attention to the promotion of personal income tax status, standardize their debt risk management, improve the efficiency of governance, and emphasize the pull of urban consumption, so as to enhance the ability to support livelihood and fully mobilize initiatives for local education development.

“…From this perspective, the relationship between the government and social organizations can be primarily reflected in the following three aspects. First, from a diachronic perspective, the government has consistently maintained a relatively conservative and cautious attitude towards the development and function of social organizations (Wen et al, 2022). With economic and social development and the improvement of social governance requirements, although government authority has relaxed its intervention in the development and operation of social organizations to some extent, it still implements management and control measures for social organizations as a whole (Unger, 2020).…”

“…The government's resource endowment determines that it has more operational and governance resources than social organizations in providing social governance services (Wu, 2022). Its legitimacy foundation and political authority provide natural advantages in service delivery (Wen et al, 2022). Social organizations with official backgrounds are highly dependent on the government in terms of capital and workforce.…”

“…According to the findings of Mok et al (2021), the contracted non‐governmental organizations (NGOs) had challenges in attaining equitable status, since they were seen and regarded as subordinate to local governments. Many local governments have ceased cooperation with social organizations to address the waste of public resources and the government trust crisis caused by the low efficiency and ineffectiveness of public service supply (Wen et al, 2022). In response, the government may opt to take over the management of public service procurement to address the low quality and low efficiency.…”

This study employs qualitative comparative analysis to investigate the effects of different interaction modes, namely, functional substitution and strategic cooperation, on the effectiveness of public service procurement. It reveals that the interaction between the government and social organizations in China's current public service procurement presents a composite form, combining functional substitution and strategic cooperation. Government support for social organizations plays a critical role in procurement effectiveness. The greater the government support, the higher the effectiveness of public service procurement. The study finds that “pure market” and “pure competition” do not necessarily contribute positively to the effectiveness of public service procurement.
