Abstract

In this paper we study the impact of regulatory complexity, a measure of institutional quality, on the GDP, on per capita income and on the growth rate of the Italian regions. For comparative reasons we also use the duration of civil disputes as a further indicator of institutional quality used in the regressions as an alternative to the indicator of regulatory complexity. From the theoretical point of view, we use the approach of negative co‐ordination externalities, among the four sources of regulatory production that are at work at the same time. Our approach may be applied in all the countries with a multi‐level government system. Using the random effects and quantile regressions models we are able to quantify the effects of an improvement in institutional quality on the GDP and the growth rate, making a comparison between the results obtained using regulatory complexity or the duration of civil disputes as covariates. We also check for spatial dependence among variables. Econometric analysis supports the theoretical assumption that regulatory complexity is an impediment to the growth of regional GDP and per capita income. The main finding of our analysis is that a reduction in regulatory complexity would be more effective than a reduction in the duration of civil disputes in increasing the income and growth rate. This result could be useful for the policy‐maker because by reducing regulatory complexity we may obtain a considerable by‐product in the shorter duration of civil disputes. En este artículo se estudia el impacto de la complejidad regulatoria, que es una medida de la calidad institucional, en el PIB, en ingresos per cápita y en la tasa de crecimiento de las regiones italianas. Por razones comparativas, también se utilizó la duración de las disputas civiles como un indicador adicional de la calidad institucional empleada en las regresiones como una alternativa al indicador de complejidad regulatoria. Desde el punto de vista teórico, se utiliza el enfoque de las externalidades de coordinación negativas entre las cuatro fuentes de producción reguladora que funcionan al mismo tiempo. El enfoque de este artículo se puede aplicar en cualquier país con un sistema de gobierno multinivel. Mediante el uso de modelos de efectos aleatorios y regresiones cuantílicas se pudo cuantificar los efectos de una mejora en la calidad institucional sobre el PIB y la tasa de crecimiento, lo que permitió una comparación entre los resultados obtenidos utilizando la complejidad regulatoria o la duración de las disputas civiles como covariables. También se comprobó la dependencia espacial entre variables. El análisis econométrico apoya el supuesto teórico de que la complejidad regulatoria es un impedimento para el crecimiento del PIB regional y los ingresos per cápita. El principal hallazgo de este análisis es que una reducción en la complejidad regulatoria sería más efectiva que una reducción en la duración de las disputas civiles para aumentar los ingresos y la tasa de crecimiento. Este resultado podría ser útil para quienes formulan políticas, ya que al reducir la complejidad regulatoria se puede obtener un subproducto considerable en forma de una menor duración de las disputas civiles. 本稿では、制度の質の指標となるregulatory complexity(規制の複雑さ)が、GDP、一人当たり所得、イタリアの地方の経済成長率に及ぼす影響を検討する。また比較検討のために、民事紛争の期間をregulatory complexityの代替となる、制度の質のより詳細な指標として回帰分析に使用する。理論的観点から、同時に進行する規制立案の4つの情報源の中から、協調の負の外部効果のアプローチを使用する。このアプローチは、マルチレベルの行政システムのあるすべての国に応用できる可能性がある。変量効果モデルと分位点回帰モデルを使用することにより、制度の質の改善がGDPと経済成長率に与える影響の定量が可能となり、regulatory complexityまたは民事紛争の期間を共変量として用いて得られた結果を比較する。また、変数の中に空間依存性がないか確認を行う。計量経済学的分析から、regulatory complexityが地域のGDPと一人当たり国民所得の増加の障害となるという理論的仮説が裏付けられた。今回の分析の主な知見は、regulatory complexityの減少は、所得と経済成長率の増加に関する民事紛争の期間の減少よりも効果的であると考えられることである。regulatory complexityを減少させることにより、より短期間の民事紛争の間に、かなりの副次的結果が得られる可能性があるため、本結果は政策立案者にとって有用となる。
