貧窮國家是否有脫離貧窮陷阱的可能?

Can Poor Countries Break out of the Poverty Trap?

摘要


Parente and Prescott(1993)分析世界各國1960-1985期間經濟成長資料,結論過去許多論文所討論的貧窮陷阱(poverty trap)假說,並沒有存在的證據。此篇論文的主題,是要從結構面與制度面,討論經濟成長與貧窮陷阱假說。我們雖然沒有積極的去證明貧窮陷阱存在,但是,我們認為Parente and Prescott論點仍不足以推翻貧窮陷阱的理論,因為他們忽略了經濟結構與經濟制度對於經濟發展的影響。我們強調North制度經濟學對經濟發展分析的重要。漸進式的制度轉移與演化,是貧窮國家脫離貧窮陷阱的關鍵。

並列摘要


Parente and Prescott (1993) analyzed cross country economic growth data over the period 1960-1995 and concluded that there is no evidence supporting the existence of poverty trap. In our study we attempt to discuss this issue from the viewpoint of institutional economics. Although we do not provide strong evidence to prove the existence of poverty trap, we claim that Parente and Prescott's (1993) argument is not sufficient to reject the poverty trap hypothesis. We highlight the strong association between economic development and economic institution. Gradual change and evolution of economic institution is critical for poor countries to break out of the poverty trap.
