摘要

假设经济竞争力对特定国家的整体腐败水平有重大影响,本研究评估了与结构竞争力支柱相关的一系列国家改革对希腊腐败的影响。为了为国家和区域反腐败政策提供信息,计算了三个指数,表示:(1)每项具体改革对腐败的影响;(2) 所需的改革努力和(3)改革指数的效率,考虑到希腊和瑞士之间的竞争力差距,瑞士是全球竞争力表现最好的国家。这些指标可以分别表明哪些改革在减少腐败方面回报最高,哪些改革的实施成本较低,哪些改革在所需努力中最大程度地减少了腐败。这项研究的实证结果表明,在许多领域,相关的改革可能会转化为较低程度的腐败。在这一概念框架下,机构似乎具有高度重要性,因为就减少腐败而言,它们具有重大影响,改革力度相对较小。因此,一项涉及结构竞争力支柱的全面政策改革预计将降低希腊的腐败水平,从而大幅提高其竞争力,从而更快地与欧洲联盟中更发达的经济体融合。

Corruption and economic competitiveness: What Greece can tell us
Under the assumption that economic competitiveness has a significant impact on the overall level of corruption in a given country, the present study evaluates the influence that a wide array of national reforms related to the pillars of structural competitiveness has on corruption in the case of Greece. In order to inform national and regional policies against corruption, three indices were calculated that express: (1) the impact of each specific reform on corruption; (2) the required reform effort and (3) the efficiency of the reform index, taking into consideration the competitiveness gap between Greece and Switzerland – the country with the best performance worldwide in terms of competitiveness. These indicators may indicate which reforms have the highest payoff in terms of corruption abatement, which are less costly to undertake and which deliver the greatest reduction in corruption per required effort, respectively. The empirical results of this study suggest that in a number of areas the associated reforms may translate into lower levels of corruption. Under this conceptual framework, institutions seem to be of high importance as they have a substantial impact as far as the reduction of corruption is concerned, with relatively low reform effort. Therefore, a comprehensive policy reform referring to the pillars of structural competitiveness is expected to deliver lower levels of corruption in Greece, allowing the substantial increase of its competitiveness and hence its faster convergence with the more advanced economies in the European Union.

期刊介绍: The Portuguese Journal of Social Science is a peer-reviewed cross-disciplinary journal focusing on research about Portuguese society by scholars of any nationality. However, the journal takes a broad view and accepts articles that are not exclusively devoted to the Portuguese case. We particularly welcome comparative studies. While the journal concentrates on research articles it operates a flexible policy in respect of other types of submission, including book reviews.
