“…According to Quibria (2006);and Zhuang, de Dios, and Lagman-Martin (2010), a country is classified as having a surplus in governance if its governance score is greater than the expected value corresponding to its level of income, with the expected values derived from a cross-country regression of governance scores on real income per capita. Similarly, a country is classified as having a deficit in governance if its governance score is below the expected value corresponding to the country's income per capita:…”

“…A LITERATURE REVIEW ON GOVERNANCE AND DEVELOPMENT PERFORMANCE Zhuang, de Dios, and Lagman-Martin (2010) comprehensively survey the literature on connections between governance, economic growth, and inequality; and they also address issues of causality. Acemoglu and Robinson (2012) examine why and how governance matters by comparing cities adjacent to each other along the United States-Mexico border.…”

“…Studies indicate a positive link between good governance, including effective institutions, on the one hand, and economic growth, on the other (Zhuang, de Dios, and Lagman-Martin 2010;Le 2009;Tebaldi and Elmslie, 2008;Rivera-Batiz (2002). Moreover, this association is more evident in the long run than the short run.…”

“…A study of developing economies in Asia shows that those governments with above average performance on such aspects as government effectiveness, regulatory quality, and rule of law in 1998 grew faster during the 1998-2008 period by 1.6, 2.0, and 1.2 percentage points, respectively, as compared to economies with below average performance. Developing Asia, however, has a lot of catching up to do to achieve the quality of governance in OECD and East European countries (Zhuang, de Dios, and Lagman-Martin 2010).…”

Since 1965, only 18 economies with a population of more than 3 million and not dependent on oil exports have made the transition to being high income. Many more have not been able to move beyond the middle-income stage. We conduct statistical tests of differences between two groups of economies across a range of growth and development variables. The results suggest that middle-income economies are particularly weak in the following areas: governance, infrastructure, savings and investment, inequality, and quality-but not quantity-of education. The findings are used to suggest whether the People's Republic of China is successfully progressing through the middle-income stage or whether it may get caught in a middle-income trap.

“…For example, Han et al (2014) find a positive relationship such that government effectiveness, political stability, control of corruption and regulatory quality have a significantly greater impact on growth performance compared with voice and accountability and rule of law. Studies that survey connections between governance, economic growth and inequality (Zhuang et al, 2010) report a positive and robust relationship between democratic governance variables, economic growth and income levels (Gerring et al, 2005;Persson and Tabellini, 2006). Han et al also report that governance matters for development, and that better governance correlates with faster growth and higher income levels.…”
