Abstract :

Nowadays, economic development and social welfare are among the priorities of every government and state. It can be seen that some countries, despite having the physical infrastructure of development, do not achieve relative development and prosperity. Good ruling includes a very broad concept that is the product of the partnership of three institutions, the government, the community and the private sector. In this paper, with reference to the provinces of Iran for the period 2006 to 2016 and based on five groups of the main indicators of global governance (accountability and the right to protest, government effectiveness, quality of regulation, rule of law and control of corruption) the effect of human capital on good governance is investigated. After normalizing the data, the model is estimated through the panel data approach with the help of Stata software and 2SLS method. According to the regression coefficients, the results show a positive and significant effect of human capital on good governance in the provinces of Iran and a one percent increase in the acceptance rate of high school causes a 21 percent increase in the good governance index.
