腐败的经济学分析——基于成本收益的视角

腐败是一种特殊的政治经济现象。腐败根源于公共权力的异化和制度的失衡。根据在此基础上建立的腐败的成本收益分析模型,可以认为在既定社会制度下,腐败行为是腐败者基于成本收益分析的合乎经济理性的行为。所以,反腐败是长期的、全面的制度安排,应该通过社会政治、经济、法律等各方面的制度变迁和制度创新,影响腐败者的成本收益状况,最终达到低水平腐败的制度均衡。

Economic Analysis of Corruption: From the Perspective of Cost Benefit

Corruption is a special political-economic phenomenon, which is rooted in alienation of public power and the imbalance of system. Based on the cost-benefit analysis model for corruption, it is reasonable to believe that under a specific social system corruptive behaviors are the economically rational choice made by corruptive officials out of cost-benefit analysis. Therefore, anti- corruption is a long-term and overall system arrangement. The cost-benefit status shall be adversely affected by reforms and innovation in social, political, economic and legal system so as to finally realize the system equilibrium for minimum level of corruption.
