摘要

背景：与世界上任何其他地区相比，撒哈拉以南非洲的经济增长一直是最低的。该地区国家获得了大量援助形式的赠款，以促进其资本积累；然而，该地区大部分地区的经济增长缓慢。许多国家执行了世界银行和货币基金组织提出的政策；大多数国家实行民主政治制度。然而，该地区的增长率仍然很低。然后，确定撒哈拉以南非洲低经济增长模式的原因就变得有意义了。因此，本研究的目的是确定社会基础设施对撒哈拉以南非洲经济增长的影响。数据和方法：本研究的数据为2001-2017年的时间序列数据，来源于世界治理指标（WGI）和世界发展指标（WDI）。数据分析采用了固定效应（FE）和随机效应（RE）的标准面板数据，而Hausman检验结果指导了固定效应估计的最终选择。调查结果：结果显示，腐败在统计上对撒哈拉以南非洲国家的经济增长产生了重大影响。这意味着，控制腐败将有助于促进该地区的经济，因为低腐败是经济复苏和可持续发展的先决条件。此外，贸易开放、劳动力供应和一般政府消费显著影响SSA的经济增长。结论：撒哈拉以南非洲国家应控制腐败并开放经济，以获得多样化带来的规模经济的积极影响。

The Impact of social infrastructures on economic growth of Sub-Saharan Africa: implications for sustainable economic growth

Background: Economic growth in sub-Saharan Africa has consistently remained the least when compared to any other region in the world. Countries in the region have received a lot of grants in form of aids to boost their capital accumulation; yet there is slow growth in most parts of the region. Many countries have implemented the World Bank and IMF suggested policies; and majority of the countries have adopted democratic political system. Yet growth in the region has remained very low. It then becomes pertinent to identify the causes of the low economic growth pattern in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The objective of this study, therefore, is to determine the impact of social infrastructure on economic growth of sub-Saharan Africa. Data and methods : The data for this study were 2001-2017 time-series data sourced from World Governance Indicators (WGI) and World Development Indicators (WDI). The standard panel data of fixed effect (FE) and random effect (RE) were employed in the analysis of the data, while Hausman test results guided the final choice of fixed effect estimation. Findings: The results show that corruption is statistically and significantly affecting economic growth of sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries. This means that control of corruption will help boost the economies in the region as low corruption is a prerequisite for economic recovery and sustainable development. Besides, trade openness, labour supply, and general government consumption significantly affect economic growth in SSA. Conclusion: SSA countries should control corruption as well as open their economies so as to reap the positive effects of economy of scale derived from diversification.
