在这篇文章中，我们将监管改革的广度和深度与经合组织国家的增长成果联系起来。通过一套新的监管量化指标，我们表明，尽管经合组织地区实现了广泛的自由化和私有化，但监管设置的跨国差异近年来有所增加。然后，我们使用涵盖过去20年一大批制造业和服务业的数据，研究了监管与增长之间的联系。我们关注的是多要素生产率(MFP)，它在GDP增长中发挥着至关重要的作用，并在其跨国差异中占据了相当大的份额。我们发现，有证据表明，促进私人治理和竞争的改革(在可行的情况下)往往会提高生产率。据估计，私有化和准入自由化都会对生产率产生积极影响。在制造业方面，一个国家与技术领先者的距离越远，收益就越大，这表明限制技术领先的监管措施...
In this paper, we relate the scope and depth of regulatory reforms to growth outcomes in OECD countries. By means of a new set of quantitative indicators of regulation, we show that the cross-country variation of regulatory settings has increased in recent years, despite extensive liberalisation and privatisation in the OECD area. We then look at the regulation-growth linkage using data that cover a large set of manufacturing and service industries over the past two decades. We focus on multifactor productivity (MFP), which plays a crucial role in GDP growth and accounts for a significant share of its cross-country variance. We find evidence that reforms promoting private governance and competition (where these are viable) tend to boost productivity. Both privatisation and entry liberalisation are estimated to have a positive impact on productivity. In manufacturing the gains are greater the further a given country is from the technology leader, suggesting that regulation limiting ...
