ABSTRACT

This study focuses on exploring equity among regions regarding public service delivery. An analytical framework is established to measure the level of public service delivery considering input (resources) and output (results), and an equity analysis is conducted from temporal and spatial perspectives. The results show that there are disparities in the level of public service delivery among regions in China (mainly due to inequality in resources), and within-region inequality has a greater influence on overall regional inequality than between-region inequality. The proposed analytical framework can help governments make better decisions about public service delivery.
