民主、复杂性与科学:探索国家科学绩效的结构性来源
Democracy, Complexity, and Science: Exploring Structural Sources of National Scientific Performance
摘要:
长期以来,学者们一直假设民主形式的政府与科学进步更相容。然而,检验民主-科学兼容性假设的实证分析仍然不发达。本文利用2007年至2017年124个国家的面板数据,探讨了民主治理对科学绩效的影响。我们找到了支持民主科学假说的证据。此外,使用内部和外部措施的复杂性,我们估计的影响,复杂性作为一个调节因素之间的民主科学的连接。研究结果表明,经济复杂性,全球化和国际合作对科学绩效的不同主要影响,以及显着的相互作用效应,适度的民主对科学绩效的影响。研究结果显示了民主治理和复杂系统在国家科学绩效中的重要性。
英文摘要:
Scholars have long hypothesized that democratic forms of government are more compatible with scientific advancement. However, empirical analysis testing the democracy-science compatibility hypothesis remains underdeveloped. This article explores the effect of democratic governance on scientific performance using panel data on 124 countries between 2007 and 2017. We find evidence supporting the democracy-science hypothesis. Further, using both internal and external measures of complexity, we estimate the effects of complexity as a moderating factor between the democracy-science connection. The results show differential main effects of economic complexity, globalization, and international collaboration on scientific performance, as well as significant interaction effects that moderate the effect of democracy on scientific performance. The findings show the significance of democratic governance and complex systems in national scientific performance.
