Abstract
The relationship of government responsiveness and public participation is an important issue of the opinion-policy nexus theory. Based on the “Leadership Message Board” 31 province of China, this study systematically investigated the effect of government responsiveness on public participation. The results find government responsiveness has a magnetic effect on public participation, and the response efficiency, response actors, and response discourse have different effects on public participation. Besides, response discourse has a moderating effect on the influence of high-level response and authoritative department response on public participation. This study provides a new perspective for understanding the governance logic of government responsiveness.
