英文摘要:
Determining policy priorities is a challenging task for any government because there may be, for example, a multiplicity of objectives to be simultaneously attained, a multidimensional policy space to be explored, inefficiencies in the implementation of public policies, interdependencies between policy issues, etc. Altogether, these factor s generate a complex landscape that governments need to navigate in order to reach their goals. To address this problem, we develop a framework to model the evolution of development indicators as a political economy game on a network. Our approach accounts for the --recently documented-- network of spillovers between policy issues, as well as the well-known political economy problem arising from budget assignment. This allows us to infer not only policy priorities, but also the effective use of resources in each policy issue. Using development indicators data from more than 100 countries over 11 years, we show that the country-specific context is a central determinant of the effectiveness of policy priorities. In addition, our model explains well-known aggregate facts about the relationship between corruption and development. Finally, this framework provides a new analytic tool to generate bespoke advice on development strategies.

中文摘要:
对任何政府来说,确定政策优先次序都是一项具有挑战性的任务,因为可能需要同时实现多种目标,需要探索多层面的政策空间,公共政策执行效率低下,政策问题之间相互依存,等等,这些因素形成了一个复杂的局面,各国政府需要通过这些因素来实现其目标。为了解决这个问题,我们开发了一个框架,将发展指标的演变建模为网络上的政治经济博弈。我们的方法解释了——最近有文献记载的——政策问题之间的溢出网络,以及众所周知的预算分配引起的政治经济问题。这使我们不仅可以推断政策优先事项,而且可以推断每个政策问题中资源的有效利用情况。利用100多个国家11年来的发展指标数据,我们表明,具体国家的情况是决定政策优先事项有效性的核心因素。此外,我们的模型解释了有关腐败与发展之间关系的众所周知的综合事实。最后,该框架提供了一种新的分析工具,可以生成关于发展战略的定制建议。
