''The importance of ethnicity in perceived school and clinic quality in Africa''
( 2024, Vol. 44 No.2 )
 
 
Using two rounds of the Afrobarometer surveys, we consider to what extent ethnicity matters for perceived access and quality of education and health facilities. We allow associations to differ not only across time but across types of countries such as democracies versus nondemocracies. We find evidence of ethnic favoritism, but the degree of ethnic favoritism is similar in democracies and nondemocracies. However, less ethnic favoritism arises in sub-Saharan Africa's higher income countries.
