Abstract

The effect of democracy on economic growth receives excellent attention in theoretical and empirical studies. However, much-existing literature provides conflicting views of democracy on economic growth. For this reason, this paper aims to empirically investigate the relationship between democracy and economic growth in thirty-three countries from 2010 to 2020. This paper examines this relationship in the context of the panel data framework. The study investigates the relationship by employing Panel unit root, cointegration tests, and panel vector error correction model (VECM) methodology associated with Wald test approaches. The preliminary empirical results show that democracy has a positive effect on growth. Furthermore, a long-run causality runs from democracy to real GDP, and both variables are cointegrated. The results conclude that a well-functioning political system by upgrading democratic accountability can positively contribute to a higher economic growth rate.

民主与经济增长关系的实证分析
民主对经济增长的影响在理论和实证研究中受到了极大的关注。然而,现有的许多文献对民主对经济增长的影响提供了相互矛盾的观点。因此,本文旨在实证研究2010年至2020年33个国家的民主与经济增长的关系。本文在面板数据框架的背景下考察了这种关系。该研究通过采用面板单位根、协整检验和面板向量误差校正模型(VECM)方法与Wald检验方法相关联来调查两者之间的关系。初步实证结果表明,民主对经济增长具有正向影响。此外,从民主到实际GDP存在长期因果关系,这两个变量是协整的。研究结果表明,通过提升民主问责制,一个运作良好的政治体系可以对更高的经济增长率做出积极贡献。
