Abstrakty

The concepts of good governance and effective government have been at the top of the public management agenda over the last decade. Good governance is seen as a central factor in growth and development. The aim of this paper was to analyse the relationships between effective government and predicting variables including GDP per capita, HDI, government spending, accountability, corruption control, political stability and rule of law. A quantitative econometric modelling methodology was utilized for the determination of long and short-run relationships using an ARDL model. Although a long-run relationship was established, of more importance was the short-run causality relationship. It was found that in most cases, effective governance causes changes in the other variables in the model. Effective government leads to strong public institutions. The results of this study, as well as the literature review, indicate effective government plays an important role in economic growth and development.

Koncepcje dobrego rządzenia i efektywnego rządu są w ostatnim dziesięcioleciu na czele publicznej agendy zarządzania. Dobre rządzenie jest postrzegane jako główny czynnik wzrostu i rozwoju. Celem artykułu była analiza zależności między skutecznymi wskaźnikami rządowymi a przewidywaniami, w tym PKB na mieszkańca, wskaźnikiem rozwoju społecznego, wydatkami rządowymi, odpowiedzialnością, kontrolą korupcji, stabilnością polityczną i praworządnością. Wykorzystano ilościową metodologię modelowania ekonometrycznego do określenia relacji długo i krótkoterminowych z wykorzystaniem modelu ARDL. Chociaż ustalono długoterminową relację, ważniejsze były krótkookresowe związki przyczynowe. Stwierdzono, że w większości przypadków skuteczne rządzenie powoduje zmiany w innych zmiennych w modelu. Skuteczny rząd prowadzi do silnych instytucji publicznych. Wyniki tego badania, a także przegląd literatury wskazują, że skuteczny rząd odgrywa ważną rolę we wzroście gospodarczym i rozwoju.
