本文基于1989-2018年的面板数据,从发展中国家视角考察了西式民主变革对收入分配公平的影响.结果显示,发展中国家的西式民主变革导致其收入不平等显著恶化.并且相对于低收入群体,中等收入群体的收入受到的挤压更加严重.在机制上,我们发现西式民主变革首先迫使发展中国家的产业结构由农业转向制造业,收入不平等因此扩大,继而由于再分配政策偏向高收入群体、不利于低收入群体,收入不平等进一步恶化.本文的研究结果表明,西式民主并非善治的代名词,开不出弥合贫富差距的药方,广大发展中国家在选择国家治理模式与政治体制时,应因地制宜,综合考虑自身的历史、文化、发展阶段等实际国情,建设符合本国国情的治理模式才是国家的长治策略.
Western Style Democratic Reform and Unfair Income Distribution——Empirical Evidence from Developing Countries
Based on panel data from 1989 to 2018,this article examines the impact of western style democratic on income distribution fairness from the perspective of developing countries.The results show that income inequality has deteriorated significantly with the improvement of western style democracy.Compared with low-income groups,the income of middle-income groups is squeezed more seriously.The mechanism test shows that western style democratic reform first leads to the expansion of income inequality by forcing the industrial structure of developing countries to shift from agriculture to manufacturing,and then the income inequality is further aggravated because the redistribution policy is biased towards high-income groups and is not conducive to low-income groups.The research in this paper shows that western style democracy is not a synonym for good governance,nor a prescription for bridging the gap between rich and poor.When selecting national governance models and political systems,developing countries should adjust measures to local conditions,comprehensively consider their own history,culture,development stages and other actual national conditions,and build a national governance model that conforms to their national conditions,which are the long-term governance strategies of the country.
