腐败与经济因素的数量关系
Quantitative relations between corruption and economic factors
摘要:
我们报告了腐败程度与经济因素之间的定量关系,如人均国家财富和人均外国投资,其特征在于跨越多个尺度的财富和人均投资的幂律。这些关系适用于不同的国家,并在不同的时期保持稳定。我们还观察到腐败程度与长期经济增长之间存在负相关关系。我们发现两个独立的腐败指数的类似结果,这表明腐败和财富之间的关系并不取决于腐败的具体措施。我们报告的函数关系在评估具有可比财富的两个国家的腐败相对水平时,以及在量化腐败对经济增长和外国投资的影响时,都会产生影响。
英文摘要:
We report quantitative relations between corruption level and economic factors, such as country wealth and foreign investment per capita, which are characterized by a power law spanning multiple scales of wealth and investments per capita. These relations hold for diverse countries, and also remain stable over different time periods. We also observe a negative correlation between level of corruption and long-term economic growth. We find similar results for two independent indices of corruption, suggesting that the relation between corruption and wealth does not depend on the specific measure of corruption. The functional relations we report have implications when assessing the relative level of corruption for two countries with comparable wealth, and for quantifying the impact of corruption on economic growth and foreign investments.
