英文文献：Security Is Like Oxygen: Evidence From Uganda-安全就像氧气:来自乌干达的证据
英文文献作者：Zhang, Xiaobo
英文文献摘要：
Since the early 1990s, Uganda has been one of Africa's fastest growing countries. However, at the sub-national level, growth has been uneven due to civil conflict in the northern region. Using a panel of household and community level data, this paper examines the links between security and economic growth. It is found that security is a pre-condition for successful economic development and that there is in fact a threshold level of security below which public investments in infrastructure and education have little impact on growth. Only when security exceeds this threshold do public investments stimulate economic growth. Economists and policy advisors living in peaceful countries often prescribe economic policies that hinge on the assumption of good security. In this manner, security, like oxygen, is taken for granted.
自20世纪90年代初以来，乌干达一直是非洲发展最快的国家之一。然而，在次国家一级，由于北部地区的国内冲突，增长一直不平衡。利用一组家庭和社区层面的数据，本文研究了安全与经济增长之间的联系。研究发现，安全是成功的经济发展的先决条件，事实上存在安全的门槛水平，低于这个门槛水平，基础设施和教育方面的公共投资对增长几乎没有影响。只有当安全指数超过这个门槛时，公共投资才能刺激经济增长。生活在和平国家的经济学家和政策顾问经常制定经济政策，这些政策依赖于对良好安全的假设。在这种情况下，安全就像氧气一样被认为是理所当然的。
