制度质量与人类发展水平辩证关系的实证研究

Empirical Study on the Quantitative Relationship between Institution Quality and Human Development Index

文章在62个国家面板数据基础上,估算了国际交易成本和制度公平度,给出了经济效率、自由和公平的定义,对中国制度质量和世界平均水平进行了比较,并用多水平混合效应模型和动态面板模型实证研究了制度质量和人类发展指数的辩证关系。结果表明,制度质量和人类发展水平存在辩证关系,二者具有长期稳定的协整关系和明显的路径依赖,经济自由度扩充和经济效率提升在促进人类发展水平上影响程度不同,但都有显著的推动作用,公平度对人类发展指数影响较为复杂,人类发展指数提升并没有伴随公平度提升,人类发展是以牺牲经济公平为代价的。文章最后针对结论提出相应的政策建议。

Based on the international panel data of 62 countries,with definitions of economic efficiency,economic freedom and the economic justice,this paper has measured transaction cost and institutional justice and then compared China's institution quality with the international average.Taking advantage of empirical study on the quantitative relationship between institution quality and the human development index by means of multiple level mixed effective model and dynamic panel data model,this study finds there are stable cointegration relationships between the QI and HDI,and the path of dependence among them.The roles of economic freedom and efficiency have positive impacts on human development index,but the relationship between justice and HDI is not synchronous because advanced human development index is normally with a price of scarifying economic justice.Hence,the suggestions of policy are provided at the end.
