The panel coefficient estimation technique (fully modified OLS) is used. The estimates suggest that improving institutional quality increases the positive impacts of external debt on GDP growth. This leads to the need to implement measures to improve institutional quality, because poor debt management, such as deviations tonon-productive activities, have their origin in institutional failures. |
