Human Development Index in Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia: Does Good Governance Matter?
Ben Katoka,김성수 한양대학교 제3섹터연구소 2020 시민사회와 NGO Vol.18 No.1
Understanding Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) requires explaining whether, why, and how it responds differently to particular variables (i.e., institutional) compared to other developing regions. This study contributes to this exercise and adds to the recent research comparing development processes and outcomes between SSA and Southeast Asia (SEA). According to these studies, based on SEA experience, good governance “as defined by donors” should not be regarded as a prerequisite for development success in SSA. This study calls this view into question by examining the relationship between governance and development performance in SSA and SEA from 1995–2015. It defines good governance according to the governance effectiveness (GE) indicator of the World Bank’s Worldwide Governance Indicators. It focuses on development performance as progress in the Human Development Index of the United Nations Development Program. It uses the hybrid (or within-between) random effects model, which accounts for heterogeneity. The study finds a positive and significant association between improvements in GE in a given period and development progress in the subsequent period. The results also reveal considerable variations in the relationship between governance and development across countries, suggesting the importance of context. The paper concludes by providing some recommendations for institutional reform and further research on governance and development.

The Resource Curse and Policy Prescriptions to Avoid It: An Application to the DR Congo
Ben Katoka,이충희,김성수 한국세계지역학회 2018 世界地域硏究論叢 Vol.36 No.1
This paper aims at drawing some policy recommendations from the resource curse literature and to examining their applicability to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). These policies are presented in terms of the four main channels— institutional weakness, political violence, volatility, and Dutch disease—that can potentially explain the negative impact of abundance in natural resources on economic performance. In the case of the DRC, the paper argues that policies should emphasize: a transparent and accountable state, the ability to mitigate volatility while keeping track of development strategies; invest resource revenues in education, physical infrastructure, state capacity, and promotion of linkages between the natural resources sector and the rest of the economy; and conditional transfer to households. The main contribution of this paper is that, by bringing the DRC’s case, it emphasizes in a country-specific context, the practicality of the policy propositions from the resource curse literature.

Korea’s Country Partnership Strategy and Bilateral Trade: Establishing a Nexus in Sub-Saharan Africa
Ben Katoka 이화여자대학교 국제지역연구소 2023 Asian International Studies Review Vol.24 No.2
Is the establishment of Korea’s Country Partnership Strategy (CPS) since 2011 associated with increases in Korea’s exports to and imports from its Sub-Saharan African (SSA) partners? Two cases of Korea’s CPS for SSA countries — Ethiopia and Mozambique — indicate that an association can be established between the CPS inception and increases in Korea’s exports of manufactured products to and imports of primary commodities from its priority partners. At the same time, the study revealed that improvement in the trade balance in favor of the priority partners depended on the type of primary commodities in which those countries specialize. Specifically, priority partners specializing in minerals exports experienced a dramatic improvement in their trade balance with Korea relative to their counterparts specializing in agricultural exports.

Ben Katoka,권혁주 서울대학교행정대학원 2017 Journal of Policy Studies Vol.32 No.3
This paper explores the relationship between institutional quality, dependence on natural resources, and socioeconomic performance in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and Southeast Asia (SEA) in the period from 1995 to 2015. It uses three measures—per capita GDP growth; foreign direct investment inflows (FDI); and infant mortality rate—to capture socioeconomic performance. The World Bank’s Regulatory Quality (RQ) indicator and the share of natural resource exports in percentage of total merchandise exports are used to capture institutional quality and resource dependence, respectively. Using Pooled OLS with robust estimators that control for temporal and spatial dependence, the paper finds that (1) higher levels of natural resource exports in SSA were significantly associated with larger FDI flows, but had no significant correlation with per capita GDP growth and infant mortality rate. Additionally, (2) in both SSA and SEA, a higher RQ score was significantly associated with increased per capita GDP growth and decreased infant mortality. The paper concludes by highlighting a few key areas that need serious consideration for further research on institutions and development in SSA.

Salary Increase and Inflation in Nigeria: A Rethink to Monetary Compensations for Public Servants
Nuhu Yahaya,Ben Katoka 한양대학교 유럽-아프리카연구소 2021 글로벌 거버넌스와 문화 Vol.1 No.1
This study looks at some issues surrounding the effects of salary increase for civil servants, as problems that negatively affect the Nigerian public and socio-economic activities. The study employs a single-group interrupted time series analysis (SITSA) to assess the impact of salary increase interventions in the public sector by analyzing the dynamics of time series following an intervention and comparing with the pre-intervention period. More specifically, we examine if an increase in personnel cost in a given period leads to an increase in inflation in subsequent periods. The findings are that civil service salary increase results in a slight increase in inflation, and that salary increase may serve its purpose for a short time but does not resolve the problem of improved living standard in the long-run. The study suggests that government should put in place schemes to ease the cost for housing/accommodation, education, transportation, health and other basic needs of civil servants to avoid the reoccurring demand for salary rise and save from the personnel cost for more capital projects and programs that will contribute more to the development of the economy.
