Effective democracy and performance of government

Abstract

Good governance is a common prescription provided for developing countries to grow. However, the current guide on good governance are not only demanding but also skeptical for its effect on growth, therefore many insist reducing it to essential institution. While the dominant view on this discussion is that protection of property right is the core prerequisite, referring to history, quality of government should be the most preceding condition. It is because the former and the other institutions are basically the outcome of government’s choice. On that account, this study aims at specifying the factors which have significant impact on quality of government and verifying it by quantitativeanalysis. The conclusion of the effort is that voice of people is highly relevant to performance of government, thereby to the economic development of countries.
