Abstract

Although economic growth is always one of the priorities for a country, an ever-growing economy is unsustainable in the long run. Environment protection, public participation in decision-making, and, nowadays, even strong defense forces gain increasing importance for country sustainability. The paper studies trade-offs between national goals as impacted by the population values and attitudes in the post-soviet region. We study a representative dataset from eleven countries (N=20006, age 18+, M ± SD: 46,04 ± 17,07; 58% women, 46,8% upper education). Two indicators are utilized to determine the preferences for economic growth – the growth as the most important priority (the other three being military spending, public participation in social life, and aesthetics of city and countryside) and economic growth at the expense of environmental protection. Methodologically, we rely on correlations and confidence intervals for mean values (95%) analyses to study the associations and the country differences in preferences for economic growth. The results suggest that (1) post-Soviet countries are largely heterogeneous in their preference for economic growth as compared to other priorities, and geographically close countries may have opposing attitudes, and (2) the country-level correlations of the two indicators of preferences for economic growth produced opposite statistically significant correlations in different countries.
后苏联国家对经济增长的偏好。一项多国研究
虽然经济增长始终是一个国家的首要任务之一,但从长远来看,经济增长是不可持续的。环境保护、公众参与决策,甚至强大的国防力量,对国家的可持续发展越来越重要。本文研究了受后苏联地区人口价值观和态度影响的国家目标之间的权衡。我们研究了来自11个国家的代表性数据集(N=20006,年龄18岁以上,M±SD: 46,04±17,07;58%女性,46.8%受过高等教育)。两个指标被用来确定对经济增长的偏好-增长作为最重要的优先事项(其他三个是军费开支,公众参与社会生活和城乡美学)和以环境保护为代价的经济增长。在方法上,我们依靠平均值的相关性和置信区间(95%)分析来研究经济增长偏好的关联和国家差异。结果表明:(1)与其他优先事项相比,后苏联国家对经济增长的偏好在很大程度上是异质的,地理上接近的国家可能有相反的态度;(2)两项经济增长偏好指标的国家层面相关性在不同国家产生相反的统计显著相关性。
