Based on the scholar’s research on the influencing factors of local government debt, this paper argues that the local government financial resources, degree of decentralization and local government investment enthusiasm in local finance are the significant factors that influence the form of local government debt. This paper also chooses the panel data of China’s 31 provinces (cities) except Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan from 2010 to 2019, to analyze the influencing factors of local government debt scale and the relationship of local government debt scale in different regions and demonstrates the correctness of the hypothesis proposed in this paper. The analyze result shows that the local government financial resources significantly inhibit the growth of local government debt. The degree of local decentralization is an essential factor to enlarge the scale of local government debt. There is a significant positive correlation between the enthusiasm of local government investment and the scale of local government debt.
