This replication package contains all data, code, and documentation required to reproduce the empirical results reported in "Infrastructure, Education Spending, and Economic Growth: Absorptive Capacity Constraints on Complementarity across Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, and Latin America."
The paper estimates Pooled Mean Group (PMG) error-correction models with Dynamic Fixed Effects (DFE) robustness across 115 economies in Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, and Latin America over 1970–2023, testing whether education expenditure activates the growth returns to physical, energy, digital, and transport infrastructure.
