Abstract:
[eng] This paper examines how different kinds of authoritarian regimes may affect long-run economic growth. On the theoretical side, non-democratic governments are differentiated according to the objectives they are likely to follow when deciding public spending and taxation policies. It is found that growth should be higher under « benevolent dictator » regimes, comparatively lower under « bureaucratic-authoritarian » regimes, and much slower under « predatory » regimes. A classification of non democratic countries into these three categories is attempted according to indicators of economic liberty and of the nature of their economic system. Conditional convergence tests carried out on the basis of this classification support the predictions of the model. [fre] Après avoir établi une typologie des régimes non démocratiques suivant leurs objectifs de politique économique, on étudie les implications en matière de croissance économique de leurs choix de dépenses publiques et de taxation. En utilisant des indicateurs composites se rapportant au type du système économique, on établit une classification des pays non démocratiques sous les différents régimes. Des tests de convergence conditionnelle reposant sur cette classification corroborent les prévisions du modèle théorique.
