反腐败、市场建设与经济增长

在市场不完善的情况下，有一部分腐败活动虽然有损于社会公平和正义，而且造成了社会资源的损耗，但对经济资源的配置也有着一定的作用。本文通过一个经济增长模型讨论了代表社会利益的政府如何规划反腐败路径，并保证经济的增长。分析结果表明。政府是可能在反腐败的同时实现经济增长的。一旦政府开始加大反腐败力度，则社会的腐败程度将持续下降。随着市场的完善，经济资源可以更好地借助于市场机制进行配置，这时社会可以加大打击腐败的力度。如果腐败的路径依赖性更强，政府也将加强对腐败的打击。

Anticorruption, Market Construction and Economic Growth

With imperfectness of the market, corruption contradicts social fairness and justice, but also plays a role in resource allocation. Based on a growth model, this paper analyzes the optimal anticorruption path of a benevolent government that promotes economic growth. The analysis shows that economic growth can be achieved with anticorruption campaigns. Once the government increases anticorruption eiforts, the level of corruption will continuously decline. While the market becomes more perfect, more resources can be allocated via market mechanisms; thereby corruption can be more seriously combated. If corruption is path-dependent, the government will also devote more efforts to fight corruption.
