THE EMPIRICAL MEASUREMENT OF RENT-SEEKING COSTS
综述了公共选择学者测量寻租社会成本的实证研究，指出理论发展领先于实证测量，并系统回顾了相关努力。
Abstract This survey focuses on the efforts, carried out mainly by public choice scholars, to measure the social cost of rent seeking. The concept, introduced by Gordon Tullock in 1967 and coined by Anne Krueger in 1974, is well known and accepted by the profession, but its empirical measurement has fallen behind with respect to its theoretical formulation, an often criticized lack in the literature. Although there are good general surveys, none has specifically focused on reviewing the empirical efforts made to measure the phenomenon. The purpose of this paper is to provide such a survey.
