Demonstrates the impact of institutional quality on health outcomes in Sub-Saharan Africa, suggesting improved governance is essential for better health.

Key Points

  • This research aims to understand how economic growth interacts with institutional quality to affect health outcomes in Sub-Saharan Africa.
  • Analyzed unbalanced panel data from 48 Sub-Saharan African countries (1990–2024)
  • Applied System GMM, panel quantile regression, and stochastic frontier analysis with robustness checks using estimators like CCEMG and AMG
  • Measured health outcomes using indicators such as life expectancy and mortality rates.
  • Identified institutional quality as the most consistent determinant of health outcomes
  • Economic growth positively affects health but is largely mediated by institutional quality
  • Uneven benefits from structural transformation, favoring countries with stronger institutions.
