Rethinking of Government Institutions and Governance Quality Indicators on Economic Growth in Sub-Saharan African Countries
The study aims to investigate the effect of governance quality on economic growth and government consumption in Sub-Saharan African countries. Balanced dynamic panel data for 36 Sub-Saharan African countries from 2011 to 2022 were analyzed using GMM and Driscoll-Kraay regressions. In addition to the fact that there is no study in the literature that examines the effect of state governance indicators on economic growth in SSA countries, the addition of government consumption variable as a second dependent variable adds originality to the study. The empirical analysis revealed that government institutions have a positive effect and are significant in SSA countries’ economic growth. In addition, according to the Driscoll-Kraay regression, it is seen that governments’ development of institutions increases government consumptions. The governance indicators threshold that strengthens the government institution in Sub-Sahara Africa must be reached to increase the economic growth of Sub-Sahara Africa. For economic growth, effective government institutions and governance quality policies should be practiced and maintained among the Sub-Saharan African countries.
期刊介绍:
In the context of rapid globalization and technological capacity, the world’s economies today are driven increasingly by knowledge—the expertise, skills, experience, education, understanding, awareness, perception, and other qualities required to communicate, interpret, and analyze information. New wealth is created by the application of knowledge to improve productivity—and to create new products, services, systems, and process (i.e., to innovate). The Journal of the Knowledge Economy focuses on the dynamics of the knowledge-based economy, with an emphasis on the role of knowledge creation, diffusion, and application across three economic levels: (1) the systemic ''meta'' or ''macro''-level, (2) the organizational ''meso''-level, and (3) the individual ''micro''-level. The journal incorporates insights from the fields of economics, management, law, sociology, anthropology, psychology, and political science to shed new light on the evolving role of knowledge, with a particular emphasis on how innovation can be leveraged to provide solutions to complex problems and issues, including global crises in environmental sustainability, education, and economic development. Articles emphasize empirical studies, underscoring a comparative approach, and, to a lesser extent, case studies and theoretical articles. The journal balances practice/application and theory/concepts.
