摘要

本文藉由結合傳統競租分析以及犯罪經濟學的相關概念，建構了一個合法與非法競租活動並存的競租分析架構，利用此一模型，我們探究政府司法部門調整其對於非法競租行為的查緝與懲罰強度，將如何影響整體社會競租浪費水準。結果發現：政府司法部門加強對於非法競租活動的查緝，或是提高對於非法競租活動的罰金倍數，在本文所提出之充分條件成立下，將會使得整體社會競租浪費水準提高而非下降。

This paper combines the concepts of traditional rent-seeking theory and criminal economics to establish a model of rent seeking which takes the coexistence of legal and illegal rent seeking activities into consideration. Using this model, we analyze how judicial investigation and scale of punishment of illegal rent seeking activities will affect social rent seeking waste. Our findings show that the strengthening of government investigation or punishment of illegal rent seeking activities will increase rather than decrease social rent seeking waste, provided that the sufficient condition proposed by this paper is satisfied.
