本文从企业欺诈的角度探讨了政府权力下放的经济后果。理论上,政府分权降低了国家干预的政治成本,从而降低了国有企业(SOE)进行欺诈的可能性。它还加剧了代理成本(管理层自我交易的成本),从而增加了国有企业舞弊的可能性。使用金字塔层级作为政府对国有企业分权的代理,实证结果表明,政府分权显着降低了国有企业欺诈的可能性。对欺诈类型的进一步分类表明,政府权力下放主要阻止与信息披露相关的欺诈和与市场交易相关的欺诈。最后,对于政府干预的可能性更大的国有企业来说,权力下放对企业欺诈的影响更为明显。
This paper examines the economic consequences of government decentralisation from the perspective of corporate fraud. Theoretically, government decentralisation reduces the political costs of state intervention and hence decreases the probability of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) to engage in fraud. It also aggravates the agency costs (the costs of managerial self-dealing), thereby increasing the probability of SOEs to commit fraud. Using pyramidal layers as a proxy of government decentralisation for SOEs, empirical results show that government decentralisation significantly lowers the probability of SOEs to commit fraud. Further categorisation of types of fraud shows that government decentralisation primarily deters disclosure-related fraud and market transaction-related fraud. Finally, the effect of decentralisation on corporate fraud is more pronounced for SOEs in which government intervention is more likely.
