运作良好的司法机构是经济发展的关键。本文将现有信息与新收集的数据集相结合，提供了司法绩效衡量指标的跨国比较，并研究了审判长度的跨国差异如何与司法系统的基本特征相关。所有案件的审判时间在不同国家之间存在很大差异，这似乎与司法预算中用于计算机化的份额、统计数据的系统生成、案件进展的积极管理、专门商事法庭的存在以及分配给首席法官的管理职责有关。良好的监管质量会减少诉讼，从而缩短审判时间。律师费的自由协商似乎也与减少诉讼有关。
Well functioning judiciaries are key to economic development. Combining existing information with a newly collected dataset, the paper provides cross-country comparisons of measures of judicial performance, and investigates how cross-country differences in trial length are related to the underlying characteristics of judicial systems. There is a large cross-country variation in trial length across all instances, which appears to be related to the share of the justice budget devoted to computerisation, the systematic production of statistics the active management of the progress of cases, the presence of specialised commercial courts and the managerial responsibilities assigned to the chief judge. Good quality regulation, is associated with lower litigation, which in turn can shorten trial length. Free negotiation of lawyers’ fees also appears to be associated with lower litigation.
