Korupcija i privredni rast
Rezime: O uticaju korupcije (slabih institucija, odsustva vladavine prava, preduzetništva zasno- vanog na rentijerstvu (rent seeking economics)) na kretanje investicija i BDPa u svetu počinje više da se ekonomski istražuje od sredine 90 ih godina prošlog veka. U periodu koji je prethodio, uočeno je da značajna sredstva međunarodnih institucija i donatora izdvajana kroz međunarodnu pomoć i kredite nerazvijenim zemljama, u uslovima slabih institucija i korupcije, završavaju u privatnom posedu vladajućih elita bez značajnijeg pozitivnog uticaja na stanovništvo i privredni rast. Postalo je jasno da je takva situacija umnogome doprinela krizi dugova nerazvijenih zemalja početkom 80 ih godina prošlog veka. Srbija se poslednjih godina uglavnom nalazi na neslavnoj i pogoršavajućoj poziciji kod međunarodnih institucija i posma- trača koje se bave analizom korupcije, vladavine prava,snage institucija i pranja novca (Tran- sparency international, World Bank Worldwide Governance Index, Freedom House indicators, Financial Action Task Force i dr. ). U našoj zemlji se zvanično o tome uglavnom ne govori iako se puno govori o ekonomskom napretku i ubrzava- nju privrednog razvoja u budućnosti. Ovaj rad ukazuje na ekonomske posledice korupcije, tj. na uticaj korupcije na investicije i privredni rast i zaključuje da bez ozbiljnog sistemskog suzbijanja korupcije značajno ubrzavanje privrednog rasta u Srbiji nije moguće.
Abstract:The relationship between corruption (week institutional environment, defi ciencies in the rule of law, rent seeking entrepreneurship) and investments, and GDP growth, globally has come into the spotlight of economic research since mid 90ies of the previous century. In the preceding pe- riod, it has become clear that substantial resources of international institutions and donors, dedicated to developing economies through international aid and loans, in the environment of week institutions and corruption in those countries, winds up in the hands of corrupt political elites, without substantial positive infl uence on the well being of peoples of those countries or on their economic development. It has become clear that such situation has gre- atly contributed to emergence of sovereign debt crisis of developing economies at the beginning of 80ies of the previous century. Serbia in recent years has fared badly and has an embarrassing and declining position in international surveys and lists of international observers analyzing corruption, rule of law, institutional development and money laundering (Transparency internatio- nal, World Bank Worldwide Governance Index, Freedom House indicators, Financial Action Task Force etc.). This issue has been widely ignored offi cially in Serbia despite the fact that economic development is one of the favorite subjects of the political establishment in Serbia. This paper inve- stigates economic consequences of corruption, i.e. corruption eff ects on investments and economic growth, and concludes that without serious and dedicatedsuppression of corruption, substantial acceleration of economic growth in Serbia may prove to be impossible.
