abstract = {We show the relevance of government expenditure inefficiency using the Barro (1990) model. We
estimate government inefficiency for 52 developing countries using a data envelopment analysis. The
estimated inefficiencies are subsequently used in a general to specific approach in order to identify
their determinants. We find the government expenditure inefficiency is primarily determined by
governance and political variables, and structural country variables. Economic policy determinants
apparently count less. Government inefficiency of the Sub Saharan countries in the sample is
substantially higher.},
