Abstract: The purpose of this article is to highlight the nonlinear relationship between governance and growth. We have tried to construct an aggregate indicator to understand the quality of governance in the region MENA. Using panel data, we found a positive relationship between governance and growth in 21 countries of the region Middle East and North Africa (MENA) over the period between 1996 and 2013.
