Abstract

We investigate the impact of governance quality and corruption on the propensity of COVID-19 infections to result in deaths, while controlling for a wide range of socio-economic country characteristics, for 139 countries. Governance quality is negatively associated with mortality from COVID-19, for a given number of infections. This result holds for the aggregate governance index and for most of its components, in particular government effectiveness, rule of law, and control of corruption. Corruption among business executives, judges and magistrates, the legislature, and among government officials exerts the largest impact on COVID-induced deaths. We propose directions for future policy initiatives.

从 COVID-19 感染到死亡的转变：治理质量和腐败对其有影响吗？

我们研究了 139 个国家的治理质量和腐败对 COVID-19 感染导致死亡的倾向性的影响，同时控制了广泛的社会经济国家特征。在感染人数一定的情况下，治理质量与 COVID-19 死亡率呈负相关。这一结果适用于综合治理指数及其大多数组成部分，特别是政府效率、法治和腐败控制。企业高管、法官和治安法官、立法机构以及政府官员的腐败对 COVID 引起的死亡影响最大。我们提出了未来政策举措的方向。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Policy Modeling is published by Elsevier for the Society for Policy Modeling to provide a forum for analysis and debate concerning international policy issues. The journal addresses questions of critical import to the world community as a whole, and it focuses upon the economic, social, and political interdependencies between national and regional systems. This implies concern with international policies for the promotion of a better life for all human beings and, therefore, concentrates on improved methodological underpinnings for dealing with these problems.
