Institutional Quality, Infrastructure, and Economic Growth in Africa
Abstract
We use a panel data set of 46 African countries over the 2003–15 period to study the role of institutional quality in infrastructure-led growth. Based on the causal analysis, we show large positive effects of growth for countries with strong institutional quality in comparison to their counterparts with weak institutional quality. This result is not sensitive to the choice of a particular measure of infrastructure or institutional quality. Our results suggest the presence of nonlinearities when estimating infrastructure-led growth and emphasize the importance of complementarities influencing such an estimation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
