摘　　要：文章利用世界银行2006年的企业调查数据,研究了地区腐败程度对企业契约实施的影响。首先构造了地区腐败感受指数,分别以商业纠纷和劳资纠纷的解决方式衡量企业的外部和内部契约实施水平。然后,通过计量回归分析,研究发现:第一,一个地区的腐败程度越严重,企业就越是倾向于不通过政府部门来解决商业纠纷。背后的影响渠道是,在更腐败的地区,企业主对法院的判决更不信任。第二,一个地区的腐败程度越严重,企业就越是倾向于不通过政府部门来解决劳资纠纷。文章的发现对于理解腐败影响企业效率的机制和改进营商环境具有重要启示。Using firm survey by the World Bank in 2006, this article studies the impact of regional corruption on contract enforcement of firms. We construct a regional corruption perceptions index, and measure firms＇ outside and inside contract enforcement level by business disputes and labor - capital disputes, respectively, Based on econometric regression, we find that： First, the more serious a regional＇s corruption condition, the less firms tend to solve business disputes through governments. The reason is that firms have less trust on local courts in more corrupt regions. Second, the more serious a regional＇s corruption condition, the less firms tend to solve la- bor - capital disputes through governments. These main results stand when instruments or other corruption index are used. Our findings have important implications for understanding the mechanism behind corruption and for improving business environment.
