资源禀赋、政府激励与经济增长关系研究

用简单内生增长模型考察资源禀赋所有权结构对经济增长的影响发现,随着政府拥有的资源份额提高,均衡税率会降低,储蓄率和经济增长率则会升高。在一定的条件下,以平衡增长路径上分散经济的增长率可以达到社会经济增长总量最优的水平。在内生增长框架内,引入自然资源可以明显改变政府行为,并提高经济增长绩效。

Resources Endowment, Government Incentives and Economic Growth

This paper develops a simple endogenous growth model to explore the influence of the ownership structure of resources endowment on economic growth.Results show that the saving and economic growth rates will rise when the government controls a greater proportion of resources.Under certain conditions the economy’s growth rate can achieve the socially optimal level with the decentralized economic growth rate on balanced growth path.This result implies that the introduction of natural resources can significantly change the government behavior and improve economic growth.
