How to raise the ecological compensation fund for the Yellow River Basin is one of the key difficulties for executing the ecological compensation mechanism and ensuring the high-quality development of the entire basin. This paper, which is based on systems theory, analyzes the social-economic-ecological compound system of the Yellow River Basin. It makes the point that the goals of human-water harmony, ecological compensation efficiency improvement, and coordinated regional development should be achieved in raising ecological compensation funds. Guided by the raising targets, a two-layer fundraising model based on efficiency and fairness is constructed for ecological compensation. The upper-level model is built to calculate the ecological compensation efficiency of each compensation subject from an input-output perspective. The initial fundraising scheme was further determined to implement the efficiency principle. Within the framework of sustainable development theory, the lower-level model adheres to the fairness principle based on efficiency. The social-economic development level of the compensation subject is considered to discriminate and optimize the initial scheme. Additionally, the two-layer model was utilized to conduct an empirical analysis with the data of the Yellow River Basin from 2013 to 2020. The results show that the optimized fundraising scheme is in line with the actual development level of the Yellow River Basin. This study can provide a reference for the fundraising of horizontal ecological compensation and promote the sustainable development of the whole basin.
如何筹集黄河流域生态补偿资金是执行生态补偿机制、保障全流域高质量发展的关键难点之一。本文基于系统理论，对黄河流域社会-经济-生态复合系统进行分析，提出筹集生态补偿资金要实现人水和谐、提高生态补偿效率、协调区域发展的目标。围绕筹集目标，构建基于效率和公平的双层筹资模型，上层模型从投入产出角度计算各补偿主体的生态补偿效率，进一步确定初始筹资方案以实施效率原则。在可持续发展理论框架下，下层模型基于效率坚持公平原则，考虑补偿主体的社会经济发展水平对初始方案进行甄别和优化。最后利用 2013-2020 年黄河流域数据对该双层模型进行实证分析，结果表明，优化后的筹资方案符合黄河流域的实际发展水平，可为横向生态补偿的资金筹集提供参考，促进全流域的可持续发展。
