31 Dec 2008TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the impact of different types of public spending on rural household welfare in Ethiopia and found that public spending in road infrastructure is characterised by relatively high, but regionally strongly concentrated, returns in terms of rural households welfare, which is quite in contrast to public expenditures in education, which have attributes of much wider reach but less intensity.
Abstract: This article explores the impact of different types of public spending on rural household welfare in Ethiopia. The analysis reveals that public spending on road infrastructure is characterised by relatively high, but regionally strongly concentrated, returns in terms of rural household welfare. This is quite in contrast to the returns to public expenditures in education, which have attributes of much wider reach but less intensity. Public investments in agriculture show results that are low in magnitude and in statistical significance, mostly due to a poor link between public expenditures in agriculture and productivity in the sector.
