| description |
The authors examine the role of
governance-measured by level of corruption and quality of
bureaucracy-and ask how it affects the relationship between
public spending and outcomes. Their main innovation is to
see if differences in efficacy of public spending can be
explained by quality of governance. The authors find that
public health spending lowers child and infant mortality
rates in countries with good governance. The results also
indicate that as countries improve their governance, public
spending on primary education becomes effective in
increasing primary education attainment. These findings have
important implications for enhancing the development
effectiveness of public spending. The lessons are
particularly relevant for developing countries, where public
spending on education and health is relatively low, and the
state of governance is often poor. |
