摘要我们报告了一个有趣的经验观察。腐败与产出之间的关系取决于经济的开放程度:在开放经济体中,腐败与人均国民生产总值呈强烈的负相关,但封闭经济体则完全没有关系。这种程式化的事实对各种不同的经验规范都是稳健的。特别是,如果我们使用其他开放性衡量标准,如果我们关注不同的时间段,如果我们将样本限制为只包括高度腐败的国家,如果我们将注意力限制在特定的地理区域或贫穷国家,同样的基本模式仍然存在。我们发现,金融开放的程度主要是决定腐败和产出是否相关。此外,在开放经济体中,腐败与资本积累呈负相关,而在封闭经济体中则不然。我们提出了一个模型,与这些研究结果相一致,通过腐败影响产出的主要渠道是资本流失。
Abstract We report an intriguing empirical observation. The relationship between corruption and output depends on the economy's degree of openness: in open economies, corruption and GNP per capita are strongly negatively correlated, but closed economies display no relationship at all. This stylized fact is robust to a variety of different empirical specifications. In particular, the same basic pattern persists if we use alternative measures of openness, if we focus on different time periods, if we restrict the sample to include only highly corrupt countries, and if we restrict attention to specific geographic areas or to poor countries. We find that the degree of financial openness is primarily what determines whether corruption and output are correlated. Moreover, corruption is negatively related to capital accumulation in open economies, but not in closed economies. We present a model, consistent with these findings, in which the main channel through which corruption affects output is capital drain.
