Abstract: This paper studies the relationship between governance, economic growth, and poverty. This relationship is examined using panel data from 1996 to 2012. Empirical evidence does not support the hypothesis that good governance leads to poverty reduction. Indeed, the estimation results show that good governance only directly reduces poverty in lower-middle-income countries, and not in low-income countries and upper-middle-income countries. For the latter two, governance indirectly affects poverty, through its influence on economic growth.
