We conceptualize geography and climate as exogenous factors determining a country's overall economic welfare. By employing the newly compiled G-econ dataset with a better measurement of geography, we found that, even controlling for institutional and social factors, geography plays a substantial role in explaining some aspects of Africa's poverty. This finding indicates that we need to partly reformulate the policy prescriptions for African economic development that are based heavily on institutionalist explanations of bad governance and corruption. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of African & Asian Studies is the property of Brill Academic Publishers and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
