摘要

本文使用广义矩量法(GMM)估计技术，研究了1985-2016年期间非洲政治风险因素对经济自由对生活质量的影响。结果表明，经济自由度对生活质量有显著的正向影响。然而，政治风险基本面，即公民自由、政治权利和冲突，导致经济自由恶化了非洲的生活质量。这些结果支持North(1990)的观点，即政治制度在非洲的经济成果和福祉中发挥着重要作用。因此，非洲各国政府必须改善政治因素，以增强经济自由对生活质量的影响。此外，导致援助增加和经济增长的政策将改善非洲的生活质量。Jel: 23, 31, p25

The Effect of Economic Freedom on Quality of Life: Exploring the Role of Political Risk Factors in Africa

This article examines economic freedom’s impact on quality of life conditional on the political risk factors in Africa over the period 1985–2016, using the Generalised Method of Moments (GMM) estimation technique. The results show that economic freedom has a significant positive effect on the quality of life. However, political risk fundamentals, namely civil liberties, political rights and conflict, cause economic freedom to deteriorate the quality of life in African. These results support North’s (1990) argument that political institutions play a cardinal role in Africa’s economic outcomes and well-being. Therefore, governments in Africa must improve on the political factors to enhance economic freedom’s impact on quality of life. Moreover, policies that lead to an increase in aid and economic growth will improve the quality of life in Africa. JEL: C23, I31, P25
