This dissertation investigates the effects of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) on economic development. Among the studies planned are a cross-national analysis of the effects of the extent of international NGOs in a country in 1978 on economic growth over the next twenty years. This effect is expected to vary by regime type: NGOs may be more important in more authoritarian countries where they compensate for the weak civil society. Other measures of institutional development may also determine the size of the NGO effect: data from the World Bank on the legal environment and on local administrative capacities will be tested as possible factors moderating the effectiveness of NGOs in promoting development. A survey of World Bank development experts will be developed to assess the variation in state - NGO ties (e.g., state contracting with NGOs); measures of state-civil synergy based on these ties are expected to be associated with higher economic growth and social development.

本文研究了非政府组织对经济发展的影响。计划进行的研究包括一项跨国分析，分析1978年一个国家的国际非政府组织的规模对今后20年经济增长的影响。这种影响预计会因政权类型而异：非政府组织在更专制的国家可能更重要，因为它们弥补了公民社会的薄弱。体制发展的其他措施也可能决定非政府组织作用的大小：世界银行关于法律环境和地方行政能力的数据将作为可能影响非政府组织促进发展效力的因素加以检验。将对世界银行发展专家进行调查，以评估国家与非政府组织关系（例如国家与非政府组织签订合同）的差异；基于这些联系的国家-民间协同措施预计将与更高的经济增长和社会发展相关联。
