摘要：
This article analysed the relationship between illicit financial flows (IFFs) and human development, as measured with the United Nations Human Development Index (HDI), using data for 56 low- and middle-income countries for the period 2002-2013. The main result was that, in the cluster of the most corrupt countries, the total effect of an annual 10% point increase in the ratio of IFFs to total trade would imply a 21.7 points decrease in the HDI level as a long-run effect. Although apparently small, this estimated long-run effect is three times greater than the annual average increase observed in the HDI over the period for the entire sample of countries.
