Abstract:	大英國協於加勒比海地區的諸多國家，分明具備相似的國家特性及經濟活動，在各自獨立之後，經濟發展程度卻大相逕庭。何以解釋此一現象? 為揭開謎底，筆者試圖參考目前正值研究的相關文獻，並檢驗兩項相互影響的因素，它們分別為：貿易開放程度，以及政府效能。筆者藉此主張：這兩項因素，對大英國協之加勒比海國家之經濟成長，產生了決定性的影響。為提升這些國家嚴重被低估的經濟表現，當務之急，即是同時增進貿易流量，以及改善政府效能。貿易量提升，也意味著更多的錢潮湧入，此時，良好的政策及財務管理，將有助於帶動前所未有的經濟成長。在數據方面，筆者根據時間序列及橫斷面資料，並採用固定效應模型，統計出自1972年至2016年，貿易開放程度，以及政府效能，對大英國協之加勒比海十二國的經濟成長產生效應之數據，更進一步論證其假設之正確性。 Given their similar characteristics and economic activities, there exists varying differences in the economic growth trends of the Commonwealth Caribbean countries post-independence. What explains this? In trying to answer this puzzle, together with an under researched literature, the author examines the nexus: trade openness, good governance and economic growth in the Commonwealth Caribbean context. The author argues that these factors are essential in explaining and understanding the different economic growth trends amongst the Commonwealth Caribbean countries. It is imperative for underperforming Commonwealth Caribbean countries to increase trade but at the same time improve their governance standings. With an increase in trade, indicating higher inflow of money for the country, good policies and management of money, countries can observe unprecedented economic growth. Using time-series cross-sectional data, the author employs the Fixed Effect model to estimate the effects that trade openness and good governance have on the economies of the twelve Commonwealth Caribbean countries for the period 1972 to 2016. The results strongly support the argument that good governance alongside trade openness do explain the different economic growth patterns observed amongst Commonwealth Caribbean countries post-independence.
