【摘要】 作为全过程人民民主的制度基础，回应性政府的建设是国家治理现代化的重要实现方式之一，在地方治理实践中不断得到创新和发展。既有研究多是对政府回应性的“社会中心论”解释，亟需进一步从国家中心论视角考察政府内部纵向权力关系如何影响政府回应性。从“诉求—回应”政民互动过程的“输出端”入手，基于人民网领导留言板的海量政民互动数据，考察纵向权力关系的回应性生产机制，可以发现下级政府在回应上级政府转交的诉求时回应质量更优，上级权威、回访、考核、激励等制度因素是纵向权力关系促进地方政府回应性的关键动力。更多还原

【Abstract】 Government responsiveness is an integral component of the Whole-Process People’s Democracy,which has been increasingly stressed by Chinese government, and has been continuously developed in the practice of local governance. In the existing literature of government responsiveness, socio-centric model has been fully discussed to explain the logic of responsiveness. This paper pays more attention to the state-centric model,especially to explore how vertical power structure within the state affect government responsiveness. Based on empirical analysis, this paper finds that when responding to the appeals forwarded by the higher-level government,the lower-level government provides higher quality of response. Institutional factors in the vertical power structure such as higher-level authority, participants-based evaluation, and dual incentive system are the key driving forces to promote local responsiveness.更多还原
