摘要

在政府和经济学研究中,一个重要的问题是政治领导人的背景与经济表现之间的关系。本文的目的是实证研究非洲政治领导人的背景与资本外逃之间的关系。使用2008年至2018年的38个非洲国家的样本,我们发现政治视野、政治领导人的年龄和职业刺激了资本外逃,使用了Driscoll-Kraay方法、2SLS和MLLI。石油租金和腐败是放大任期资本外逃关系本质的传导渠道。研究结果还强调了政治任期和资本外逃之间存在倒U型关系。另一方面,受过高等教育的领导人,即那些拥有硕士学位和/或博士学位的领导人,也有这种不适;尤其是在产油国。因此,为了遏制资本外逃,最好制定选举法,使受过高等教育的领导人能够长期掌权。

The background of political leaders and capital flight: Evidence from Africa,

In studies of government and economics, an important issue is the relationship between the background of political leaders and economic performance. The aim of this paper is to empirically study the relationship between the background of political leaders and capital flight in Africa. Using a sample of 38 African countries from 2008 to 2018, we find that political horizon, the age and the profession of the political leaders stimulate capital flight, using Driscoll-Kraay methods, 2SLS and MLLI. Oil rent and corruption are the transmission channels that amplify the nature of the tenure-capital flight relationship. The results also highlight the existence of an inverted U-shaped relationship between political tenure and capital flight. On the other hand, high educated leaders, i.e. those with a master's degree and/or doctorate (HEL), contain the malaise; especially in oil-producing countries. It follows that in order to curb capital flight, it would be advisable to set up electoral laws that would perpetuate the accession to power of high educated leaders.
