Abstract

This research focuses on governance in Africa, precisely on the evolution or change in governance. Our results suggest that there is a negative relationship between the state of governance of the initial period and the current governance. However, this relationship is only significant when controlling other parameters. Therefore this is evidence of the existence of a conditional convergence. Also, the sigma convergence has not been found: there is less divergence.
