目前关于加强改革经济体政策所有权的建议存在根本性缺陷。将改革过程建模为囚徒困境表明，政治代理人必须克服这种利益冲突，才能使当前加强所有权的建议发挥作用。政治自主的大众媒体是政治代理人实现这一目标的重要机制。没有自由媒体的改革国家面临着一场克服转型相关问题的艰苦斗争。我们通过调查 26 个后社会主义转型国家的媒体自由、对外援助和经济发展之间的关系来检验我们的理论。该分析的结果支持我们的理论。
Current proposals for strengthening policy ownership in reforming economies are fundamentally flawed. Modeling the reform process as a prisoners’ dilemma demonstrates that political agents must overcome this conflict of interests before present proposals for bolstering ownership will work. A politically autonomous mass media is one important mechanism enabling political agents to do this. Reforming countries without free media face an uphill battle overcoming the problems associated with transition. We test our theory by investigating the relationship between media freedom, foreign aid, and economic development in 26 post-socialist transition countries. The results of this analysis support our theory.
