政府的收益和成本表明政府的规模是有效的。我们通过分析1896-2008年期间法国公共支出和真实的GDP之间的关系来研究有效的政府规模。结果表明，两者之间存在协整的非线性关系。我们对法国的时间序列数据代表了文献中研究的最长时期之一。我们的实证研究结果表明，当公共支出占GDP的30%左右时，以公共支出衡量的有效政府规模就达到了。结论指出，有效的政府规模是特定于不同国家的国家的特殊性。(c)2013爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
The benefits and costs of government suggest an efficient government size. We investigate efficient government size by analyzing the relation between public spending and real GDP for France in the period 1896-2008. The results show a co-integration nonlinear relationship. Our time-series data on France represents one of the longest periods studied in literature. Our empirical findings suggest that efficient government size measured by public spending was reached when public spending was around 30% of GDP. Conclusions point to particularities of countries that suggest efficient government size is specific to different countries. (c) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
