Abstract

This empirical study examines the impact of property rights on intangible investments in sub-Saharan African (SSA) non-financial firms using firm-level data. The study employs a local projections methodology for twelve SSA countries over the period 1996–2020. Our empirical results show that property rights protection increases intangible investment in non-financial firms in the SSA region. This effect is significant for the SSA region in the long run.
