“…The short-run results show negative and significant relationship between suicides and all variables of institutional quality except for regulatory quality which is negative but not significant. The short-run results are in line with the empirical findings of prior literature (De Luca et al , 2021; Alimi and Ajide, 2020; Dhrifi, 2019; Ventelou and Abu-Zaineh, 2016) in that a better quality of institutions decreases suicides and eventually implies better health outcomes. As a final point of the analysis, the cumulative sum of recursive residuals (CUSUM) test is applied to test for coefficients stability of the ARDL model.…”

“…At most, related studies have elaborated on the relationship between institutional quality and measures of health outcomes (i.e. life expectancy, total fertility rate, child mortality and health-care expenditure), excluding suicides and found positive association among the latter variables (De Luca et al, 2021;Dhrifi, 2020;Ventelou and Abu-Zaineh, 2016). Alonso and Garcimartín (2013) have argued that the characteristics of institutional quality differ among its indicators due to the existence of many data sets provided mainly by various institutions, academic centers and non-governmental organizations.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between suicide rates and institutional quality. Design/methodology/approach This study used autoregressive distributed lag model and error correction model to examine short-run and long-run relationships during 1996–2017 in Lebanon. Findings The study shows that in the long-run, suicide rates are significantly associated to the control of corruption, voice and accountability and rule of law, but not to regulatory quality, political stability and government efficiency. In the short-run, nearly all variables of institutional quality have a negative and significant relationship to suicide rates. Results are discussed in detail. Originality/value This research is the first to inspect the relation between the quality of institutions and suicide rates. Empirical results of this study add new evidence to the literature and provide support to policymakers.

“…8 Such historical proxy of government quality is then used as an exogenous source of variation in current institutional quality. Following De Luca et al (2021), we estimate a pooled regression and exploit variation in the quality of government across regions rather than over time (as the quality of institutions has small variation over time, while it changes significantly across regions).…”

An important issue in economic geography is the link between higher education institutions and economic performance at local level. This paper exploits some aspects of the university funding system in Italy to estimate the effects of hosting higher education institutions on local productivity and furthermore tests whether local institutions have a moderating role in this relationship. The findings firstly confirm that university performance positively affects local economies. Secondly, we argue that an important channel linking universities to greater economic activity is the administrative capacity of local governments to create strong social and economic structures.

“…The government aims to continue with the pace and achieve the targets of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by the end of 2030. The success of the aim depends on the availability of healthcare service delivery centres (health centres hereafter) as they affect the utilization of their services (De Luca et al, 2021;Lindo et al, 2020;Lu & Slusky, 2019).…”
