Includes bibliographical references (leaves 39-43). A growing empirical has analysed the historical relationship between infrastructure and output in South Africa, finding a broadly positive effect that operates largely via the marginal productivity of private capital. We extend this literature by investigating the relationship between infrastructure, output and institutional quality: protection of property rights, political fractionation and political and economic risk. We develop a model in the spirit of Barro (1990), which predicts a nonlinear relationship between infrastructure and output (positive at low levels of infrastructure and subsequently negative) and a positive effect of institutional capital on both output and the response of output to changes in infrastructure stock. 2014-07-31T12:28:09Z 2014-07-31T12:28:09Z 2008 Master Thesis Masters MCom http://hdl.handle.net/11427/5787 eng application/pdf School of Economics Faculty of Commerce University of Cape Town |
