Abstract:

Abstract: This paper examines the relative impacts of economic growth and good
governance on human development (HD) performance in the sub-national states
of India from the 1980s to the early 2000s to test whether the strong and positive
impact good governance has had on HD in the Indian state of Kerala is anomalous
or typical. The paper begins with a bounded and theoretically developed
conceptualization of good governance to cover the three core dimensions of
leadership priorities, state capacity, and policy implementation. Measures of these
three core dimensions taken from recent field study in India are then compiled into
a good governance index suited to the specific context of federal India’s subnational
states over the last three decades. Employing cross-sectional regression
analysis and incorporating checks for robustness, we find that in almost every
case good governance explains more of human development outcomes (in
education, health, and longevity) than does economic growth, per capita
investment, or per capita incomes.

These 2 also involve school facilities and presumably reflect recent grants from the central government (like “Operation Blackboard”) to invest in improving school facilities in states with poor governance particularly in Uttar Pradesh. It may also represent dishonest reporting of facilities by districts in the poorer states (Interview New Delhi March 2006) but there is no further evidence on hand to confirm this possibility. The school facilities indicator is for 2003 (from
