Abstract(s)
This paper is concerned with two things: finding an objective and
easily quantifiable measure of government efficiency and testing possible
determinants of such quality. As measures of government efficiency we use
the ratios of infant mortality rate to health expenditures as a percentage
of GDP and the ratios of drop out and illiteracy rates to education expenditures
as a percentage of GDP. We assume that government efficiency in providing health and education services depends on economic, political and cultural factors.
