John Maynard Keynes was an English economist born in 1883 who developed theories advocating for government intervention in the economy. He believed governments should increase spending and cut taxes during recessions to stimulate demand and employment. This "multiplier effect" would lead to increased manufacturing output and incomes in a self-sustaining cycle. Keynes' theories were influential during the Great Depression and World War II, when deficit spending helped countries recover. While his ideas do not dominate modern economics, aspects of his approach influenced recent economic stimulus packages.
The document discusses budget deficits and national debt. It begins by outlining the objectives of understanding what a budget deficit is, knowing the size of the UK's deficit, why deficits rise in recessions, and why large deficits can be problematic. It then provides ways that governments can reduce budget deficits, such as by decreasing spending, increasing taxes, and pursuing economic growth. The document also discusses how countries fund deficits through bond sales and what can happen if a country is unable to sell enough bonds to cover its deficit.
Public expenditure is incurred by governments across various economic sectors such as agriculture, infrastructure, and exports/imports. It includes economic overhead like transportation and utilities, as well as social overhead like hospitals and schools. Public expenditure is needed to develop agriculture and industry, provide public utilities, and transform economies as income levels increase according to Musgraves' theory. It must also respond to technological changes and employment needs through public works. When determining public expenditure, governments should follow principles like maximizing social benefits relative to costs, avoiding waste through economy, ensuring proper sanctioning of funds, adjusting spending based on needs and circumstances, and balancing the budget to avoid deficits.
This document discusses inflation and economic growth in India. It introduces inflation as a rise in the general price level where each unit of currency buys fewer goods and services. It then examines trends in India's inflation rate from the 1950s to present day, where the rate was as high as 13.9% in 1991 and has since declined. The document identifies the main causes of inflation as demand-pull, cost-push, imported inflation and other factors like increased government borrowing and production costs. It analyzes the effects of inflation on different groups and provides inflation rate data from 2004 to 2014 showing a decline. The conclusion states that India's inflation is mostly due to rising crude oil and food prices and was impacted by new economic policies introduced in
This document defines inflation as a rise in general price levels caused by an imbalance between the quantity of money and trade needs. It discusses the different types of inflation including creeping, walking, running, and galloping inflation. Causes of inflation include demand pull, cost push, expansion of the money supply, population growth, bank credit expansion, and black money. Effects are discussed as benefits to debtors, entrepreneurs, farmers, and upper income groups, but losses for creditors, fixed income groups, consumers, and middle/lower income groups. The document provides an example calculation of inflation rate and shows a chart of inflation rates for different income groups. Remedies discussed include increasing cash reserve ratios, price controls, import duty changes,
Public debt is a major source of non-tax revenue for governments. It can be internal debt, which is borrowing from within the country, or external debt, which is borrowing from other countries. Governments take on public debt for several reasons, including to bridge budget deficits, fight economic depression, finance development projects, and meet emergency needs. Public debt can be classified as voluntary or compulsory, funded or unfunded, internal or external, productive or unproductive, and redeemable or irredeemable. Governments also take on short, medium, and long term loans depending on the timeframe of the borrowing.

The document provides an overview of public debt including its definition, history, types and trends in developing countries. It discusses how the role of governments has increased over time leading to rising public debt levels. Developing countries in particular have experienced growing debt burdens due to factors like budget deficits, economic crises, and infrastructure development needs. Prudent management of public debt is important to control costs and risks. The objectives of debt management include meeting government borrowing needs at minimum cost while developing domestic capital markets.
There are 3 methods of measuring national income:
1) Value added method or product method which measures domestic income by estimating the contribution of each producing enterprise in the domestic territory.
2) Income method
3) Expenditure method
The value added method involves classifying production units, estimating the gross value added of each unit as the difference between output value and intermediate consumption, and measuring output value as sales plus change in stock. National income is then calculated by adjusting GDP for net factor income from abroad, depreciation, and net indirect taxes.
Chapter 1 - basic concepts about macroeconomics for BBAginish9841502661
This chapter introduces macroeconomics and important macroeconomic concepts. It discusses what macroeconomists study, including issues like inflation, unemployment, recessions, government budgets, trade balances, and economic growth. It introduces tools and concepts used in macroeconomic analysis, including aggregate supply and demand, GDP, unemployment, inflation, and exchange rates. It explains why macroeconomics is important by outlining how the macroeconomy impacts society's well-being. Finally, it provides an overview of basic macroeconomic models and concepts like stocks and flows, production possibility frontiers, and the differences between endogenous and exogenous variables.
AS Macro Revision: Macro Objectives and Conflictstutor2u
This document discusses possible conflicts that can arise between different macroeconomic objectives:
1. It is rare for a country to achieve full employment, price stability, economic growth, and a balanced external account simultaneously, as pursuing one objective can undermine others.
2. For example, policies to reduce unemployment can cause inflationary pressures if they stimulate demand too much when the economy is near capacity.
3. Rapid economic growth risks inflation and worsening the trade balance if domestic demand grows faster than supply.
4. The document examines these trade-offs and provides UK economic data to illustrate instances of conflicting macroeconomic objectives.
The document discusses different types of unemployment including frictional, structural, classical, seasonal, and cyclical unemployment. It defines the unemployment rate as the number of unemployed people divided by the total labor force. Structural unemployment occurs when workers' skills do not match available jobs, and can be caused by new technology, consumer demand shifts, or globalization. Cyclical unemployment rises during economic downturns as spending decreases and companies lay off workers. The document also notes the private and social costs of unemployment as well as its relationship to business cycles and taxes.
Aggregate Demand, Aggregate Supply, and InflationNoel Buensuceso
This document discusses aggregate demand, aggregate supply, and inflation. It defines aggregate demand and supply as the total demand and supply in the economy. The aggregate demand curve shows a negative relationship between output and price level, while the aggregate supply curve shows the relationship between output and price level. The equilibrium price level is where the aggregate demand and supply curves intersect. Inflation is defined as a sustained increase in the overall price level over time and is caused by an expansion of the money supply. There are two types of inflation: demand-pull inflation initiated by increased aggregate demand and cost-push inflation caused by increased costs. Cost shocks can lead to stagflation, where output falls as prices rise. Inflationary expectations
John Maynard Keynes was a British economist born in 1883 who developed theories about government intervention in the economy. His most influential work, The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money, argued that markets are inefficient and governments should stimulate consumption and investment to boost employment during recessions. Keynes believed governments should run deficits and lower taxes to increase aggregate demand. His ideas formed the basis for modern macroeconomic policies focused on fiscal and monetary policy.

The document defines and explains several key concepts related to inflation:
- Inflation is a general rise in price levels across most markets over time, eroding purchasing power. It is measured by calculating changes in the consumer price index (CPI).
- The CPI tracks price changes of a basket of common goods and services in an area. A higher CPI indicates higher costs of living.
- While some inflation is necessary for economic growth, high or unpredictable inflation can be harmful as wages may not keep pace and erode purchasing power. Hyperinflation occurs when inflation accelerates rapidly out of control.
1. Aggregate demand is the total demand for final goods and services in an economy over a given period of time. It is made up of consumption, investment, government spending, exports minus imports.
2. Changes in aggregate demand are key to understanding economic fluctuations like recessions and recoveries. A rise in aggregate demand leads to economic expansion while a fall causes contraction.
3. Shifts in aggregate demand are caused by changes in factors like fiscal policy, monetary policy, business and consumer confidence, and external economic conditions.
Fiscal Policy (Austerity) in the UK Economytutor2u
This document discusses fiscal policy in the UK. It provides information on UK government spending, including that social welfare and healthcare are the largest items. It also shows data on government consumption, investment, spending and tax revenue as a percentage of GDP from 1980 to the present. The document discusses the UK's fiscal deficit reduction policies under the Conservative government, including spending cuts and tax increases. It outlines arguments for and against the government's austerity policies aimed at reducing the budget deficit. Finally, it defines some key terms related to fiscal policy economics.
Inflation and Deflation- Indian contextSujay Kumar
The document provides an overview of inflation and deflation, including:
- Types of inflation such as demand-pull, cost-push, and structural inflation. Cost-push inflation can arise from wage increases, profit increases, or increases in raw material prices.
- Measures to control inflation including monetary measures like increasing bank rates, cash reserve ratios, and open market operations, and fiscal measures like reducing government spending and increasing taxes.
- Deflation is defined as a general decline in prices. Types of deflation include debt deflation, money supply deflation, bank credit deflation, and confiscatory deflation.
- Measures to control deflation focus on increasing consumption and investment through
The document discusses the concepts of public goods and private goods and the need for government intervention in economies. It defines public goods as indivisible goods like national defense and street lighting that cannot be priced or exclude users. Private goods are divisible and can be priced so users can be excluded. It also discusses the "free rider" problem where individuals may not voluntarily pay for public goods. The document argues that government intervention is needed to address issues like inequality, monopolies, unemployment, instability, and externalities in free market systems. It provides examples of fiscal, monetary, and supply management measures taken by the Indian government to stabilize the economy and reduce inequality.
The document provides an overview of an A-level Economics taster lesson. It defines economics as the study of how society allocates its scarce resources among competing needs and wants. It discusses different ways resources could be allocated by the government or market. It also lists expectations for students taking the course and suggests further research topics in economics.
Debt dynamics, the primary deficit, and sustainabilityEd Dolan
The document discusses the basics of government debt dynamics and sustainability. It explains that while the US debt is currently average for developed nations, projections show continuing growth without policy changes. The debt can reach a sustainable equilibrium depending on factors like the primary deficit, GDP growth, and interest rates. However, an unsustainable primary deficit that remains over time could lead to a "debt explosion" and crisis requiring austerity measures.
This document outlines the curriculum for a Microeconomics course taught by Abhishek Maity in 2012. It includes 11 units covering topics like demand, supply, market equilibrium, elasticity, and the theory of the firm. It provides resources for students such as textbooks and describes the formative and summative assessments including quizzes, tests, presentations, and a required internal assessment portfolio.
Fiscal policy involves government spending and taxation. The main objectives of India's fiscal policy are development through resource mobilization, efficient allocation of resources, price stability, employment generation, and increasing national income. Expansionary fiscal policy increases spending or cuts taxes to boost aggregate demand, while contractionary policy reduces spending or raises taxes to curb demand and inflation. Taxes, government expenditure, and public borrowing are the main policy tools used by the government to achieve its fiscal objectives.
Foreign trade and economic growth in nigeria (1980 2010)Alexander Decker
1. The document discusses foreign trade and economic growth in Nigeria from 1980-2010. It analyzes how foreign trade has impacted Nigeria's economy and growth over this period.
2. Nigeria traditionally relied on agricultural exports like cocoa, palm oil, and groundnuts, but since the 1960s oil has dominated exports. Oil exports now account for over 90% of total exports.
3. While foreign trade can promote growth, Nigeria still faces economic instability and import dependence. The heavy reliance on oil exports has also neglected development of other sectors like agriculture.

Big Data 2.0 - How the UK Government Can Optimise Its Use of Big DataLewis Hill
A whitepaper examining the application of Big Data approaches within the UK government and identifying gaps in order to make recommendations for the future.
Abstract: The paper examines the impact of public sectoral expenditure on economic growth in Nigeria for the period 1981-2013. It was observed that the growth of government expenditure has not fully felt by the economy. The econometric methodology employed is the ARDL model and results show that while the impact of government expenditure on administration and debt servicing were positive on economic growth in the long and short run, expenditure on economic and social sectors has negative impact. We argue that this may not be unconnected with the high level of corruption prevalent in the public sector where funds that are meant for provision or maintenance of social-economic activities like agriculture, roads, transportations, schools and hospitals are diverted for personal use. The CUSUM and CUSUMSQ test show the model is stable as neither of them cross the 5% boundary. The paper recommended that government should increase expenditure to the social and economic sectors while debts or debt servicing should be reduced. Also, corruption so prevalent in the public sector must be minimized if cannot be eradicated.
Government expenditure and taxes are important instruments of fiscal policy that can impact equilibrium GDP. A rise in government expenditure will cause the aggregate expenditure curve to shift right in parallel, increasing equilibrium GDP according to the government spending multiplier. A tax increase will cause the aggregate expenditure curve to shift left in a non-parallel way, reducing equilibrium GDP according to the tax revenue multiplier. Equilibrium GDP is determined by the intersection of aggregate expenditure and aggregate output, where planned expenditure equals total output in the economy.
Macroeconomic; Government Expenditure (Comic)Adynn Khairil
The Federal government of Malaysia is projected to record a lower fiscal deficit of 4% of GDP in 2013. Total government revenue is expected to reach RM208.7 billion, with tax revenue at RM159.2 billion. Non-tax revenue is projected to be RM49.5 billion, a 9.6% reduction due to lower returns from investments, petroleum royalties, and the Malaysia-Thailand Joint Authority. Government expenditure consists of operating expenditure, which covers administrative costs, and development expenditure for infrastructure investment to boost economic growth.
This document discusses fiscal policy and government expenditure. It defines fiscal policy as the manipulation of public spending, taxation, and borrowing to achieve macroeconomic objectives. It outlines the main areas of government expenditure as capital expenditure, current expenditure, and transfer payments. It then explains the concepts of balanced and unbalanced budgets, expansionary and contractionary fiscal policy, cyclical and structural budget deficits, and the public sector net cash requirement. Finally, it discusses the UK fiscal rules around borrowing only to invest and repaying welfare increases during recessions.
The document discusses key aspects of government budgets including:
- Budgets show estimated annual receipts and expenditures and are divided into revenue and capital components.
- Objectives include reallocating resources, managing public enterprises, and promoting economic stability.
- Receipts are classified as revenue or capital, and expenditures are classified as revenue or capital.
- Budgets can be balanced, in surplus, or in deficit depending on a comparison of estimated receipts to expenditures.
- Deficits include revenue deficit, fiscal deficit, and primary deficit, with fiscal deficit being the broadest measure of imbalance.
Public expenditure and economic growth nexus in nigeria a time series analysisAlexander Decker
This document examines the relationship between public expenditure and economic growth in Nigeria over the last three decades from 1977 to 2006. It uses time series data and the Ram (1986) model to analyze how different types of public spending, such as on infrastructure, education, and health, impact economic growth. The empirical results found that private and public investments had an insignificant effect on economic growth during the period studied. While variables like GDP, private investment, and public spending were found to be non-stationary, they were determined to be cointegrated in the long run. Error correction modeling also showed that short-run distortions can be corrected towards the long-run equilibrium relationship over time. The main recommendation is that government spending in Nigeria should be

Cointegration of public sector expenditure patterns and growth of nigeriaAlexander Decker
This document discusses a study that investigates the relationship between patterns of public sector expenditure and economic growth in Nigeria from 1961-2010. The study uses econometric models like cointegration tests and vector error correction models to analyze secondary data on public administration, social, economic, and transfer expenditures collected from Nigeria's Central Bank. The results show that different types of public expenditures impact Nigeria's economic growth. Based on these findings, the study concludes that public expenditures can be an important fiscal policy tool to promote economic growth when properly allocated and managed.
Government Expenditure and Economic Growth Nexus: Empirical Evidence from Nig...iosrjce
This study has examined the impact of public expenditure on economic growth in Nigeria using time
series data for the period 1970-2012. Secondary data were sourced from the CBN, NBS, journals, text books
etc. The adopted model was fitted with three variables: real GDP, capital and recurrent expenditure. The tools
of analysis were the ADF unit root test and ordinary least square multiple regression accompanied by pairwise
Granger causality test. The major objective of this study is to analyse the impact as well as direction of
causality between the fiscal variables and economic growth. All the variables included in the model are
stationary at level. Empirical findings from the study show that there is positive and insignificant relationship
between capital expenditure and economic growth while recurrent expenditure had a significant positive impact
on economic growth. Also, Granger causality test demonstrates a unidirectional causality running from the
fiscal variables to economic growth in validation of the Keynesian theory. Consequently, the study
recommended more allocation of resources for recurrent purposes as well; government should establish the
body that will monitor contract awarding process of capital projects closely, to guard against over estimation of
project cost and stealing of public funds.

Does the composition of public expenditure matter toAlexander Decker
The document examines the impact of public spending on various sectors on economic growth in Kenya from 1972 to 2008. It finds that:
1) Spending on education had a highly significant positive impact on economic growth, while spending on economic affairs and transport/communication also had a positive impact, though weaker.
2) Spending on agriculture had a significant negative impact on economic growth.
3) Spending on health and defense did not have a significant impact on economic growth.
The findings did not fully conform to the authors' prior expectations about the relationship between public spending and economic growth. The document reviews other literature that has found mixed results on this relationship.

The findings did not fully conform to the authors' prior expectations about the relationship between public spending and economic growth. The document reviews other literature that has found mixed results on this relationship.
Using time series data, this study investigated the effect of aggregated and disaggregated public spending on economic growth in Nigeria during the period 1980 – 2015. Time series data such as aggregated expenditure proxy by total federal government expenditure (TFGE), disaggregated expenditure proxy by recurrent expenditure (REXP) and capital expenditure (CEXP,) and economic growth proxy by GDP were obtained from central bank of Nigeria (CBN) statistical bulletin. Error Correction Model (ECM) was used to estimate the model. The result of the finding revealed that the total federal government expenditure (TFGE) and capital expenditure (CEXP) exerts positive and significant influences on GDP while recurrent expenditure (REXP) has a positive and insignificant influence on GDP. This implies that the higher the public spending, the higher the GDP. The researchers therefore, recommend that for sustainable Economic Growth (GDP), federal government should increase capital expenditure by allocating more funds to the productive sector of the economy. More so, the positive contributions of public spending to economic growth necessitate the continued use of fiscal policy instruments to pursue macroeconomic objectives in Nigeria.

This document summarizes a study that assesses the role of public spending in Nigeria and its implications for sustainable economic growth. The study examines whether increases in government expenditure have contributed to sustainable growth in Nigeria. It employs regression analysis to analyze data on public investment, gross capital formation, savings, private domestic investment, and per capita GDP from 1975 to 2008. The study finds that increases in government expenditure have not led to sustainable growth in Nigeria. It suggests Nigeria's government should adopt a "big push" strategy for public spending that focuses on infrastructure and human capital development to set the country on a path of self-sustaining economic growth.
Analysis of Public Investment Expenditure on Economic Growth in WAEMU Countriesinventionjournals
Public investment expenditure plays an important role in the economy to produce goods and services needed for economic development. This study analyzes the influence of public investment spending on the economic growth of the WAEMU zone. The study considers a linear approach through individual fixed effects models with Beck-Katz and Driscoll-Kraay corrections, the spatial autocorrelation model (SAC) and the longterm model (DOLS). The empirical results of the study using panel data covering the period 1990-2015 indicate that public investment spending can promote economic growth in WAEMU countries when they are allocated in decreasing order to Education, health, public investment in basic road infrastructure and agriculture. However, they are also likely to slow it down when they focus on military spending, even though their primary objective is to ensure security for economic development. Finally, the study recommends that policy makers in WAEMU countries refocus their public expenditure policies in key sectors of development, notably human capital, in order to ensure a multiplier effect of public spending on economic growth and strengthen institutions Democracy to ensure their independence through their interdependence.

Does government spending spur economic growth evidence from nigeriaAlexander Decker
- The document examines the impact of government spending on economic growth in Nigeria using annual time series data from 1970 to 2010.
- The results show that at the aggregate level, government spending in Nigeria has a small positive impact on growth (0.16%), but at the disaggregated level only recurrent spending significantly and positively impacts growth while capital spending has a negative and insignificant effect.
- This finding contradicts economic theory, so the authors cautiously interpret it as a special case for Nigeria, which has poor institutions, corruption, and a weak capital infrastructure base.
This document analyzes the impact of revenue allocation formulas on economic growth in Nigeria. It finds that past revenue allocation formulas have affected Nigeria's economic growth and development path. There is a need to address problems with more efficient revenue allocation to reduce wastage and mismanagement of funds. The revenue allocation formula influences capital formation, employment, and economic growth. Changes to Nigeria's internal structure through increased state creation have distorted the revenue allocation formula and weakened federalism. The objectives of the study are to examine how past revenue allocation formulas have impacted economic growth in Nigeria and propose solutions to problems in the formula to support rapid economic growth.
The main focus of this study is to investigate the impact of expansion in economic growth on
government expenditure in Nigeria covering the periods 1970 to 2012. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was
used as a proxy for economic growth, and the GDP time series was decomposed using the partial sum approach
in order to achieve asymmetry in the variable. The asymmetric ARDL estimation technique was appropriately
employed in this study. The findings of this study revealed that expansion in economic growth has significant
impact on government expenditure in Nigeria. The study further provided evidence of long-run causality from
boom/expansion in economic growth to government expenditure in Nigeria but could not support any evidence
of short-run causality. The researcher recommended among others, that Governments in Nigeria should give
more impetus to policies that will guarantee sustainable economic growth.
Analyzing the Effect of Government Expenditure on Inflation Rate in Nigeria 1...ijtsrd
Nigeria is a developing economy with active participation of the federal government in various economic sectors not only to promote economic growth and development but also to instill fiscal and economic discipline in the economy. Government participation in the economy means greater funding of economic activities and this is expected to impact on economic indicators. This study analyses the effect of government expenditure on inflation rate in Nigeria within a period of 39 years spanning 1981 2019 . The study specifically seek to ascertain, determine, explore and assess the extent to which government expenditures on key sectors of agriculture, education, health and telecommunications respectively affect inflation rate in Nigeria. In line with the specific objectives of this study, four research questions are raised and four hypotheses duly formulated. Data used for this study were collected from the Central Bank of Nigeria CBN Statistical Bulletin. Government Expenditure on Agriculture GOA , Government Expenditure on Education GOE , Government Expenditure on Health GOH and Government Expenditure on Telecommunication GOT are the independent variables while inflation rate INF is the dependent variable. Descriptive statistics, diagnostic test employing the Augmented Dickey Fuller and a multivariate regression based on Johanson Cointegration and Error Correction Model ECM are used to analyze the data. Our findings indicate that government expenditures on education and agriculture have positive but insignificant effect on inflation rate and on the other hand, government expenditure on health and government expenditure on telecommunications have positive and significant effect on inflation rate. Based on our findings, the study recommends that government should increase its allocation to the health and education sectors to trigger increased skills and healthcare of economic operators for enhanced human capital development and economic productivity. Government should also provide adequate infrastructures to facilitate economic growth and reduce high inflation rate.

Budget implementation and economic growth in nigeriaAlexander Decker
This study examines the impact of budget implementation on economic growth in Nigeria from 1993 to 2010. The researcher developed an econometric model using gross domestic product (GDP) as the dependent variable and public total expenditure, public recurrent expenditure, public capital expenditure, and external debt as independent variables. The results of the ordinary least squares regression analysis show that budget implementation has a positive effect on economic growth in Nigeria. Specifically, GDP was found to have a positive relationship with public total expenditure and public recurrent expenditure, while it had a negative relationship with public capital expenditure and external debt. The study recommends that the government increase capital expenditure relative to recurrent expenditure and enact laws to ensure budgets are implemented according to plans in order to promote growth and development.
6 the economic implications of monetization 60-71Alexander Decker
This document summarizes a study on the economic implications of monetization policy in Nigeria. Some key points:
1) Monetization policy in Nigeria involves converting fringe benefits that were previously provided to public servants in-kind, such as housing and vehicles, into cash payments. This was intended to reduce government spending and corruption.
2) However, the costs of running the government continued to escalate after monetization. There are also questions around whether the policy has been effectively implemented long-term.
3) The study uses regression analysis to examine the relationship between monetization and GDP in Nigeria, finding a significant but negative relationship. This suggests monetization has not achieved its goals of improving economic
Incidence of poverty, budget cuts and under development in Nigeria calls for a rethink on the economic planning and
social policies if we really want to see sustainable economic development. This is informed by the increasing
widening gap that has developed overtime between the rich and the poor, and between rural areas and urban areas. It
seems that government‟s provisions are either not enough or failing, this study will want to take a deep look into the
system and provide an alternative way out to ensure and foster cooperation and sustainable economic development in
Nigeria. To do these, the study evaluates the impact of rural road constructions; unemployment and school enrolment
on Poverty Index and Gross Domestic Product. Secondary data was collected from reliable and authentic sources and
these were analyzed by multivariate regression. The result obtained show that Expenditure on Rural Roads (ERC) (β
= -4.177, t-statistic = -1.257; P>0.05), Unemployment Rate (UR) (β = -0.018, t-statistic = -0.035; P>0.05) and
School Enrolment (SE) (β = 0.086; t-statistic = 0.721; P>0.05) were insignificant independent predictors of Poverty
Index. - PI = 62.731-4.177ERC-0.018UR+0.086SE. Also Expenditure on Rural Roads (ERC) (β = -14.452, t-statistic
= -0,265; P>0.05) and Unemployment Rate (UR) (β = -11.644, t-statistic = -1.427; P>0.05) were insignificant
independent predictors of Gross Domestic Product while School Enrolment (SE) (β = 6.424; t-statistic = 3.275;
P<0.05) is a significant independent predictors of Gross Domestic Product. - GDP = -1005.852-14.452ERC11.644UR+6.424SE. These, show the need for Social investment when nearly all acclaimed variables have failed.

Abstract
This study attempts to empirically examine the trends as well as effects of government spending on the
growth rates of real GDP in Nigeria over the last decades (1970-2008) using econometrics model with
Ordinary Least Square (OLS) technique. The paper test for presence of stationary between the variables
using Durbin Watson unit root test. The result reveals absence of serial correlation and that all variables
incorporated in the model were non-stationary at their levels. In an attempt to establish long-run
relationship between public expenditure and economic growth, the result reveals that the variables are co
integrated at 5% and 10% critical level. The findings show that there that there is a positive relationship
between real GDP as against the recurrent and capital expenditure. It could therefore be recommended that
government should promote efficiency in the allocation of development resources through emphasis on
private sector participation and privatizationcommercialization.
Keywords: Current expenditure; capital expenditure; macroeconomics; economic development
1. Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
The recent revival of interest in growth theory has also revived interest among researchers in verifying and
understanding the linkages between government spending and economic growth especially in developing
country like Nigeria. Over the past decades, the public sector spending has been increasing in geometric term
through government various activities and interactions with its Ministries, Departments and Agencies
(MDA’s), (Niloy et al. 2003). Although, the general view is that public expenditure either recurrent or capital
expenditure, notably on social and economic infrastructure can be growth-enhancing although the financing
of such expenditure to provide essential infrastructural facilities-including transport, electricity,
telecommunications, water and sanitation, waste disposal, education and health-can be growth-retarding (for
example, the negative effect associated with taxation and excessive debt). The size and structure of public
expenditure will determine the pattern and form of growth in output of the economy. The structure of
Nigerian public expenditure can broadly be categorised into capital and recurrent expenditure. The recurrent
expenditure are government expenses on administration such as wages, salaries, interest on loans,
maintenance etc., whereas expenses on capital projects like roads, airports, education, telecommunication,
electricity generation etc., are referred to as capital expenditure. One of the main purposes of government
spending is to provide infrastructural facilities.

The effect of government spending on economic growth is still an unresolved issue theoretically as well as
empirically. Although the theoretical positions on the subject are quite diverse, the conventional wisdom is
that a large government spending is a source of economic instability or stagnation. Empirical research,
however, does not conclusively support the conventional wisdom. A few studies report positive and
significant relation between government spending and economic growth while several others find
significantly negative or no relation between an increase in government spending and growth in real output.
An extensive review of literature, presented in the next section, clearly indicates that empirical evidence on
the effect of government spending on economic growth is at best mixed.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
In the last decade, Nigerian economy has metamorphosed from the level of million naira to billion naira
and postulating to trillion naira on the expenditure side of the budget. This will not be surprising if the
economy is experiencing surplus or equilibrium on the records of balance of payment. Better still, if there
are infrastructures to improve commerce with the system or social amenities to raise the welfare of average
citizen of the economy. All these are not there, yet we always have a very high estimated expenditure. This
indicates that something is definitely wrong either with the way government expands budget or with the
ways and manners it has always been computed.
1.3 Research Questions
Hence, in order to justify reasons for so much expansionary effects on the way and manner public
expenditure either capital or recurrent expenditure have been geometrically computed in or order to finance
the infrastructural facilities towards improving commerce with the system or social amenities so as to raise
the welfare of average citizen of the economy, this study tends to provide solution to the following
questions:
a Is there any relationship between government expenditure either capital or recurrent expenditure
and economic growth in Nigeria?
b Is there anyway to justify the surplus, deficit or equilibrium position on Nigeria balance of
payment due to the effects created by public spending?
c Is it true that has the nation is expanding its public expenditure on provision of infrastructural
facilities as well as administration financing, the economy has been growth-enhancing?
d. Does public expenditure on provision of infrastructural facilities as well as administration
financing determines the pattern and form of growth in output of the economy?
2.0 Review of Literature, Theoretical and Empirical
In a developed country, through economic stabilization, stimulation of investment activity and so on, public
expenditure maintains a rate of growth which is a smooth one. In an underdeveloped country, public
expenditure has an active role to play in reducing regional disparities, developing social overheads, creation
of infrastructure of economic growth in the form of transport and communication facilities, education and
training ,growth of capital goods industries, basic and key industries, research and development and so on
(Bhatia, 2002). Public expenditure on infrastructural facilities has a great role to play in the form of
stimulating the economy. The mechanism in which government spending on public infrastructure is expected
to affect the pace of economic growth depend largely upon the precise form and size of total public
expenditure allocated to economic and social development projects in the economy. When public expenditure
is incurred, by itself it may be directed to particular investments or may be able to bring about re-allocation of
the investible resources in the private sector of the economy. This effect, therefore, is basically in the nature
of re-allocation of resources from less to more desirable lines of investment. An important way in which
public expenditure can accelerate the pace of economic growth is by narrowing down the difference between
social and private marginal productivity of certain investments. Here, public expenditure on social and
economic infrastructural like education, health, transport, communication, water disposal, electricity, water
and sanitation etc., has the potential of contributing to the performance of the economy based on Promotion

of infant industries in the economy; Reduction in the unemployment rate; Stabilization of the general prices
in the economy; Reduction in the poverty rate and increase the standard of living of the people; Promotes
economic growth by attracting foreign investment; and Promotes higher productivity.
In tracing the work of Rosto and Musgrave, where they put forward development model under the causes for
growth in public expenditure. Under this model, public expenditure is a prerequisite of economic
development. The public sector initially provides economic infrastructure such as roads, railways, water
supply and sanitation. As economic growth take place, the balance of public investment shift towards human
capital development through increase spending on education, health and welfare services. In this model, the
state is assumed to grow like an organism making decision on behalf of the citizens. Society demand for
infrastructural facilities such as education, health, electricity, transport etc., grow faster than per capita
income.
2.1 Theoretical Review
Public expenditure theory, traditionally, received only a scanty attention till recently. Partly, this lop-sided
interest in the theory of public finance is explained by a general acceptance of the philosophy of laissez-faire
and belief in the efficacy of free market mechanism. However, with the advent of welfare economics the role
of the state has expanded especially in the area of infrastructural provision and theory of public expenditure is
attracting increasing attention. This tendency has been reinforced by the widening interest of economists in
the problems of economic growth, planning, regional disparities, distributive justice and the like (Bhatia,
2002).
The theory of public expenditure may be discussed in the context of increasing public expenditure, the
range of public expenditure and/or in terms of the division of a given amount of public expenditure into
different items like recurrent and capital expenditure. The later of the two parts may also be conceived in
terms of allocation of the economy’s resources between providing public goods on the one hand and private
goods on the other.
2.1.1 Theory of Increasing Public Expenditure
There are two important and well-known theories of increasing public expenditure. The first one is connected
with Wagner and the other with Wiseman and Peacock. On the one hand, Wagner revealed that there are
inherent tendencies for the activities of different layers of a government (such as central, state and local
governments) to increase both intensively and extensively. He maintained that there was a functional
relationship between the growth of an economy and government activities with the result that the
governmental sector grows faster than the economy. However Nitti (1903) not only supported Wagner’s
thesis but also concluded with empirical evidence that it was equally applicable to several other governments
which differed widely from each-others (Nitti, 1903). All kinds of governments, irrespective of their levels
(say, the central or state government), intentions (peaceful or warlike), and size, etc., had exhibited the same
tendency of increasing public expenditure. But on the other hand, Wiseman and Peacock in their study of
public expenditure in UK for the period 1890-1955 revealed that public expenditure does not increase in a
smooth and continuous manner, but in jerks or step like fashion. At times, some social or other disturbance
takes place creating a need for increased public expenditure which the existing public revenue cannot meet.
2.2 Empirical Review
Numerous studies have been conducted to investigate the relationship between government spending and
economic growth. Landau (1983) found that the share of government consumption to GDP reduced economic
growth which was consistent with the pro-market view that the growth in government constrains overall
economic growth. The conclusions were germane to growth in per capita output and do not necessarily speak
to increase in economic welfare. Economic growth was also found to be positively related to total investment
in education. In a later study, Landua (1986) extends the analysis to include human and physical capital,

political, international conditions as well as a three year lag on government spending in GDP. Government
spending was disaggregated to include investment, transfers, education, defense and other government
consumption. The results in part mirrored the earlier studies in that general government consumption was
significant and had a negative influence on growth. Education spending was positive but not significant. It
was unclear why lagged variables were included given that the channels through which government influence
growth suggest a contemporaneous relationship.
Ram (1986) study marked a rigorous attempt to incorporate a theoretical basis for tracing the impacts of
government expenditure to growth through the use of production functions specified for both public and
private sectors. The data spanned 115 countries to derive broad generalizations for the market economics
investigated. He found government expenditure to have significant positive externality effects on growth
particular in the developing countries (LDC) sample, but total government spending had a negative effect on
growth. Lin (1994) used a sample of 62 countries (1960-85) and found that non-productive spending had no
effect in growth in the advanced countries but a positive impact in LDCs. Other studies have investigated the
impact of particular (functional) categories of public expenditure. For example, Deverajan et al (1993), using
a sample of 14 OECD countries, found that spending on health, transport and communication have positive
impacts whereas spending on education and defense did not have a positive impact.
Seymour et al. (1997) used a disaggregated approach to examine the impact of government expenditure on
economic growth in the OECD. Josaphat et al. (2000) investigated the impact of government spending on
economic growth in Tanzania (1965-1996) using time series data for 32years. They formulated a simple
growth accounting model, adapting Ram (1986) model in which total government expenditure is
disaggregated into expenditure on (physical) investment, consumption spending and human capital
investment. It was found that increased productive expenditure (physical investment) have a negative impact
on growth and consumption expenditure relates positively to growth, and which in particular appears to be
associated with increased private consumption. The results revealed that expenditure on human capital
investment was insignificant in their regression and confirm the view that public investment in Tanzania has
not been productive, as at when the research was conducted. Nitoy et al. (2003) employed the same
disaggregated approach as followed by Josaphat et al. (2000). They examined the growth effects of
government expenditure for a panel of thirty developing countries (including Nigeria) over the decades of the
1970s and 1980s, with a particular focus on sectoral expenditures. The primary research results showed that
the share of government capital expenditure in GDP is positively and significantly correlated with economic
growth, but current expenditure is insignificant. The result at sectoral level revealed that government
investment and total expenditures on education are the only outlays that remain significantly associated with
growth throughout the analysis. Although public investments and expenditures in other sectors (transport and
communication, defense) was found initially to have significant associations with growth, but do not survive
when government budget constraint and other sectoral expenditures were incorporated into the analysis. Also
private investment share of GDP was found to be associated with economic growth in a significant and
positive manner. Junko and Vitali (IMF, 2008) investigate the impact of government expenditure on
economic growth in Azerbaijan because of the temporarily oil production boom (2005-07), which caused
expectationally large expenditure increase aimed at improving infrastructure and raising incomes.
Azerbaijan’s total expenditure increased by a cumulative 160 percent in nominal value from 2005 to 2007
(i.e. from 41 percent of non-oil GDP to 74 percent) in their research reference which were made to Nigeria
and Saudi Arabia (1970-89) who have also experienced oil boom and increased government expenditure
over the years. The study simulated the neo-classical growth model tailored to the Azeri conditions. Their
analysis suggested that the evaluated fiscal scenario poses significant risks to growth sustainability and
historical experience indicates that the initial growth performance largely depends on the efficiency of
scale-up expenditure. The study also sheds light on the risks associated with a sudden scaling-down of
expenditure, including the political difficulties to undertake an orderly expenditure reduction strategy
without undermining economic growth and the crowding-out effects of large government domestic
borrowing.

2.3 Conceptual Framework
Government spending as a fiscal instrument serves useful roles in the process of controlling inflation,
unemployment, depression, balance of payment equilibrium and foreign exchange rate stability. In the
period of depression and unemployment, government spending causes aggregate demand to rise and
production and supply of goods and services follow the same direction. As a result, the increases in the
supply of goods and services couple with a rise in the aggregate demand exalt a downward pressure on
unemployment and depression.
In the case of persistent rise in price (inflation) and the depreciation in the value of money, it is expected
that reduction in government expenditures discourages aggregate demand and inflation and falling in the
value of exchange rate are controlled. It is worth to note that these two tools may be adopted
simultaneously in the economy. A rise in the government expenditure has the same effects as a reduction in
the tax rates on aggregate demand. Similarly, the effects of a reduction in the government expenditures are
the same as increases in tax rates.
2.4 Theories of Government Expenditure
2.4.1 Peacock and Wiseman’s Theory of Expenditure
Peacock and Wiseman’s study is probably one of the best known analyses of the time pattern of public
expenditures. They founded their analyses upon a political theory of public determination namely that
governments like to spend more money and citizens do not like to pay taxes, and that government need to
pay some attention to the wishes of their citizens. The duo saw taxation as setting a constraint on
government expenditure. As the economy and thus incomes grew, tax revenue at constant tax rate would
rise, thereby enabling public expenditure would show a gradual upward trend even although within the
economy there might be a divergence between what people regarded as being desirable level of public
expenditure and the desirable level of taxation. During the periods of social upheaval however, this gradual
upward trend in public expenditure would be disturbed.
These periods would coincide with war, famine or some large-scale social disaster, which would require a
rapid increase in public expenditures; the government would be forced to raise taxation levies. The rising of
taxation levels would, however, is regarded as acceptable to the people during the period of crisis. Peacock
and Wiseman referred to this as the “displacement effect”. Public expenditure is displaced upwards and for
the period of the crisis displaced private for public expenditure does not however fall to its original level.
A war is not paid for from taxation; no nation has such large taxable capacity. Countries therefore borrow
and debt charges have to be not after the event. Another effect that they thought might operate was the
“imperfection effect” thus they suggested arise from the people Keener awareness of social problems
during the period of upheaval. The government therefore expands its scope of services to improve these
social conditions and because people perception to tolerable levels of taxation does not return to its former
level, the government is able to finance these higher levels of expenditures originating in the expanded
scope of government and debt charges.
2.4.2 Ernest Engel’s Theory of Public Expenditure
Ernest Engel was also a German economist writing almost the same time as Adolph Wagner in the 19th
century. Engel pointed out over a century ago that the composition of the consumer budget changes as
family income increases. A smaller share comes to be spent on certain goods such as work clothing and a
larger share on others, such as for coats, expensive jewelries etc.

Vol 3, No.9, 2011
As average income increase, smaller charges in the consumption pattern for the economy may be to occur.
At the earlier stages of national development, there is need for overhead capital such as roads, harbors,
power installations, pipe-borne water etc. But as the economy developed, one would expect the public share
in capital formation to decline over time. Individual expenditure pattern is thus compared to nation
expenditure and Engel finding is referred to as the declining portion of outlays on foods.
2.4.3 Wagner Law of Increasing State Activities
Thus, Wagner was emphasizing long-term trend rather than short-term changes in public expenditure.
Moreover, he was not concerned with the mechanism of increase in public expenditure. Since it is based on
historical experience, the precise quantitative relationship between the extent of increase in public
expenditure and time taken by it was not fixed in any could not used to predict its rate of increase in future.
Actually, it is consistent with the Wagner’s law of the state that in future, the state expenditure will increase
at a rate slower than the national income though speaking; it had increase at a faster rate in the past.
Thus, in the initial stage of economy growth, the state finds out that it has to expand its activities quite fast
in several fields like education, health, civil amenities, transport, communications, and so on. But when the
initial deficiency is removed, then the increase in state activities many be slowed down. The factors, which
contribute to the tendency of increasing public expenditure, relate to a growing role of the state in
ever-increasing socio-economic complexities of modern society.
2.5 Public Expenditure Policies in Nigeria
The Second National Development plan (1970-1974) accorded a leading role to government just as it
considered public enterprise as crucial to growth and self – reliance due to capital scarcity, structural
defects in the private sector and perceived danger of foreign dominance of the private sector. The third
National Development plan (1975- 1980) advocated some shift in resources allocation in favor of rural
areas, which were said to have benefited little from the economic growth of 1970’s. Thus small farmers and
the rural population were expected to benefit from public expenditure.
However, against the background of the austere fiscal outlook of the government, under the Third National
Plan (1981- 1985)), the role of fiscal policy was viewed mainly as the generation of revenue through
increased tax effort and the control of public spending. The structural adjustment programmed (SAP)
introduced in July 1986 recognized that the financial resources for public expenditure for the rest of the
1980s and beyond were likely to be less than was previously envisaged. And given the uncertainty in the oil
market and substantial debt repayment falling due, there was need to curtail government expenditure,
especially those involving foreign exchange.
In the main, as with other IMF and World Bank programmers, measures were to be taken to reduced
government expenditure. Such measures, include reduction of the growth of government wage bill;
reduction in government subsidies on fertilizer, foods petroleum and petroleum products; limiting or
delaying new investments, and the rationalization, and hence the privatization and commercialization of
public enterprise, thereby efficiency of investment and expenditure control and administration. During the
first National Rolling Plan (1990-1992), government aimed at effort of combat inflation hence budgetary
deficit were to be avoided hence government expenditure was made more cost- effective and kept levels
that were consistent with the nation’s resources, realistic growth targets and general economic stability.

a. Coefficients
The slopes of the coefficient are in line with a priori (predictions). The Coefficients are positive and
significant at 1% level. That is a percentage change in capital expenditure will induce a 0.465% unit change
in GDP while and a percentage change recurrent expenditure will induced a 0.573% unit in GDP.

within the period under review.
c. The Durbin Watson Test
The Durbin Watson statistic is used to test the existence serial correlation between the variables. Durbin
Watson is equal to 2.088658, implies the absence of serial correlation. This is because the closer the DW
value is to two, the better the evidence of the absence of serial correlation. There is no evidence of positive
first order serial correlation.
d. Test of Significance
(i) Recurrent expenditure
T-cal = 6.7
T-tab =2.03
Since T-cal is greater than T-tab, the null hypothesis is rejected suggesting that there is a positive
relationship between recurrent expenditure and economic development.
(ii) Capital expenditure
T-cal = 5.8
T-tab =2.03
Since T-cal is greater than T-tab the null hypothesis is rejected and we do not reject alternative hypothesis
claiming that there is a positive relationship between capital expenditure and economic development.
4 Conclusion and Recommendation
This work has so far explained the theories of government expenditure by relevant scholars such as
Wagner’s theory and Wiseman- peacock theory. According to Wagner, there are inherent tendencies for the
activities of different layers of a government (such as central, state and local government) to increase both
and extensively. The main thesis of Wiseman-Peacock theory is that government does not increase in a
smooth and continuous manner, but in jerks or steep like fashion. And has pointed out the main reason for
increase in government expenditure. The secondary data gathered were regressed and it shows clearly that
there is a positive relationship between GDP and recurrent and capital expenditure.
Since a fact has been established that there is a great impact of government expenditure in relation to the
economic growth of Nigeria. It can therefore be said that the higher the government spending, the higher
the level of economic growth (ceteris paribus) and the lower the government spending, the lower the level
of economic growth of the nation. Overall, the empirical evidence suggests that the increase in the
government spending in this work has been based on the fact that there is no corruption and embezzlement
in the system. So, it can therefore be said it is because of the level of corruption in the system that
something might be wrong with the computation of the figure. Further research and notice can be made in
order to examine the lapses in embezzlement level of our past leaders in terms of budgetary inflation;
correctness of proper imputation and computation of the monetary figures as well as checkmating the past
wrong manipulation so as to correct it for future purposes. It could therefore be recommended that
government should promote efficiency in the allocation of development resources through emphasis on
private sector participation and privatizationcommercialization.
