    Economic Freedom and the Process of Economic Growth: An Empirical Analysis Based on a New Measure
    (2010-06-14) Kapas, Judit; Czegledi, Pal
    This paper, relying on a conceptualization of economic freedom in terms of kinds of government actions, develops a new measure of economic freedom. However, this is not art for art’s sake; instead, it allows us to provide an explanation for how particular institutions of economic freedom enhance economic development, a view upon which scholars agree. We develop two concepts related to economic freedom, namely the freedom-compatible and freedom-non-compatible institutions and use them as tools in an analysis of the process of economic growth, especially the relationship between economic freedom and long-run income. The major argument is that freedom-compatible institutions are primary determinants of income, while freedom-non-compatible institutions depend upon them and are partly the outcomes of the growth process itself, a fact which is explained by the Misesian theory of interventionism. Our regression analyses support our theoretical insights. JEL Classification: B53, H10, O10

    Why are some countries more corrupt than others?
    Mohamed Farouk Kamel Ezzeldin, Lana; Czegledi, Pal; DE--Gazdaságtudományi Kar
    This research examines the complex causes of corruption, questioning if it arises mainly from structural factors like geography and economics or from governance and institutional quality. It begins with the historical context of the Washington Consensus and its impact on corruption in developing countries, emphasizing the importance of strong institutions, as noted by economists like Douglass North and Dani Rodrik. Key corruption measurement methods, including perception-based indices like the Corruption Perception Index (CPI), are reviewed to assess relationships between factors such as land area, urbanization, internet penetration, and GDP with corruption levels. Findings suggest that while economic development can reduce corruption, it is insufficient without strong governance and institutional support, as shown through cases like Singapore and Brazil. Ultimately, effective anti-corruption efforts rely on transparent institutions, regulatory accountability, and citizen engagement to sustain low corruption rates.
