Abstract: Fiscal management is an important channel through which governance affects development outcomes. The beneficial impact of public spending on education and health tends to be lower in countries that score poorly on various aspects of governance. Poor governance also undermines the tax morale of people and limits the fiscal space needed to improve public services. The situation could even become worse as these two effects reinforce each other. Could technology help Governments break this cycle?
