HIV/AIDS and Economic Development: Evidence from Th irty-Nine Sub-Saharan Countries
Th is paper (1) examines whether there is a bilateral relationship between HIV/AIDS and economic
development; (2) estimates the impact of HIV/AIDS on economic development; and
(3) identifies some of the factors affecting the spread of HIV/AIDS. Analyses are based on data
from 39 sub-Saharan African countries for the period 1989-1998. HIV/AIDS negatively
impacted economic development, with no evidence of a reciprocal relation. Expenditures on
health and education as well as political freedom had positive impacts on development, but
negative impacts on HIV/AIDS incidence. Expenditures on female education impacted development
and HIV/AIDS incidence.
