摘要

在武装冲突期间，当法治崩溃时，贿赂往往会盛行。然而，在这种情况下，贿赂对公司业绩的影响仍不明确。贿赂可以让企业获得稀缺资源，但也可能是敲诈勒索的结果。本研究认为，在某些冲突中，当暴力降低了公职人员威胁企业的能力时，贿赂可以提高企业绩效。利用 2009-2014 年 "博科哈拉姆 "组织叛乱期间尼日利亚企业的纵向数据，我发现受到 "博科哈拉姆 "组织袭击的企业中，行贿企业的表现优于未行贿的企业。定性数据表明，叛乱限制了政府官员威胁企业的能力，使得贿赂不再是一种榨取租金的手段，而更多地成为企业获取资源的途径。

Bribery, insecurity, and firm performance: Evidence from the Boko Haram insurgency in Nigeria

During armed conflicts, when the rule of law collapses, bribery often becomes prevalent. Yet, the effect of bribery on firm performance under those circumstances remains unclear. Bribery could provide access to scarce resources, but it could also be the result of extortion. This study argues that bribes can improve firm performance during certain conflicts, when violence reduces public officials' ability to threaten firms. Using longitudinal data from businesses in Nigeria during the Boko Haram insurgency in 2009–2014, I find that firms exposed to Boko Haram attacks that bribed outperformed firms that did not bribe. Qualitative data suggest that the insurgency limited public officials' ability to threaten firms, making bribes less a means of rent extraction and more a way for firms to access resources.
