Sažetak
The present chapter deals with three interdependent components related to knowledge governance. The first one examines the effect of knowledge governance on medium term growth. Using the software industry as benchmark, the authors' findings suggest that poor knowledge governance reduces economic growth over the medium term, but the relationship is non-linear. The second one analyzes the impact of formal institutions on economic knowledge and its related variables. In particular, the role of various governance indicators is examined. The results show that institutional quality plays an important role in the relative performance of MENA and African countries in building up the knowledge economy. The last aspect analyzed in this chapter is to establish the status of Arab economies in terms of their transformation to knowledge economies and empirically examine the impact of knowledge and its related variables on economic performance. Policy implications are also discussed.
