Abstract
In this issue of the Journal of Politics, Marcus Kurtz and Andrew Shrank (hereafter KS) offer a sweeping critique of the exisiting literature on governance and growth. They argue that perceptions-based cross-country measures of governance, and in particular those we have constructed in our ongoing work, are fatally flawed. They also produce empirical evidence which they claim shows that perceptions of governance are driven by short-term growth performance. Finally they argue that there is little convincing evidence that good governance spurs growth.
