摘要本研究介绍了腐败在经济增长中的作用的新视角,并对腐败对传播渠道的增长和重要性的影响进行了定量估计。在我们通常的最小二乘估计中,我们发现腐败水平每增加1%,增长率就会下降约0.72个百分点,换言之,腐败指数每增加一个单位,增长率就会下降0.545个百分点。腐败影响经济增长的最重要渠道是政治不稳定,约占总影响的53%。我们还发现,腐败降低了人力资本水平和私人投资份额。J.Comp.经济上。,2001年3月29(1),第66-79页。香港浸会大学商学院,香港九龙塘。学术出版社版权所有2001年。经济文献分类编号:O40、O50。
Abstract This study introduces a new perspective on the role of corruption in economic growth and provides quantitative estimates of the impact of corruption on the growth and importance of the transmission channels. In our ordinary least squares estimations, we find that a 1% increase in the corruption level reduces the growth rate by about 0.72% or, expressed differently, a one-unit increase in the corruption index reduces the growth rate by 0.545 percentage points. The most important channel through which corruption affects economic growth is political instability, which accounts for about 53% of the total effect. We also find that corruption reduces the level of human capital and the share of private investment. J. Comp. Econ. , March 2001 29 (1), pp. 66–79.
