社会资本、政府治理与经济增长

Social capital,government governance and economic growth

将社会资本、政府治理与经济增长纳入统一的研究框架,从社会信任、社会规范和公民参与网络三个侧面论述了社会资本通过政府治理影响经济增长的传导机制。在内生增长模型中加入社会资本与政府治理的动态运动过程,数值模拟显示社会资本偏好及其影响政府治理效率参数在平衡增长路径下对经济增长具有边际效应递减的正向作用。利用1998—2013年省际面板数据的实证分析证实了社会资本积累与政府治理水平提升对经济增长具有显著的促进作用,社会资本有效降低了政府治理缺失对经济增长的危害。稳健性检验还揭示了社会资本、政府治理能力对经济可持续增长日益重要的作用。

The article incorporates social capital,government governance and economic growth into a unified research framework,and discusses the transmission mechanism of social capital on economic growth through government governance from three aspects： social trust,social norms and citizen participation network. The dynamic process of social capital and government governance is added into the endogenous growth model. The numerical simulation shows that social capital preference and its influence on the efficiency of government governance have a positive but decreasing marginal effect on economic growth under balanced growth path. The empirical analysis using the provincial panel data during 1998—2013 confirms that the accumulation of social capital and the enhancement of government governance have significant promoting effect on economic growth. Social capital has effectively reduced the harm of the lack of government governance to economic growth. The robustness test also reveals the increasingly important role of social capital and government governance in sustainable economic growth.
