    Impact of Governance on Poverty and Income Inequality
    (UMT, Lahore, 2018) Natasha Khan
    The thesis attempts to examine the impact of governance on poverty. The data has been taken from World Bank and ICRG covering time period 1984-2015. ARDL approach is utilized in this thesis. CUSUM and CUSUMQ stability tests are employed on the model and the results show that there is a stable relationship between the variables indicating stability of the estimated model. Long run estimated results showed a negative and significant relationship between governance and poverty. On the other hand the variable of interest (governance) entered the equation with an analogous sign and is also significant. Other control variables utilized in the thesis are in line with the theory.
