This document discusses the relationship between economic growth and public expenditure in India based on Wagner's Law. It introduces the six versions of Wagner's Law proposed by different economists from 1961 to 1980. The document then reviews several previous studies that have examined the validity of Wagner's Law in India and other countries. The focus of the current study is described as examining the relationship between public expenditure and economic growth in India using the six versions of Wagner's Law. The study uses annual time series data from 1970-71 to 2011-12 and tools like unit root tests, cointegration analysis, vector error correction models, and Granger causality tests to analyze the data and test the hypotheses.
This document summarizes Wagner's hypothesis and the Peacock-Wiseman hypothesis about public expenditure. Wagner hypothesized that industrialization leads to increasing state activity and that public expenditure will rise faster than per capita income. The Peacock-Wiseman hypothesis emphasizes time patterns of spending rather than a theory of growth. It involves displacement effects as social disturbances expand the public sector, inspection effects as revenue lags required spending, and concentration effects as central government activity increases with economic growth. The document also lists criticisms of Wagner's hypothesis and defines intensive and extensive increases in state activity.

This study examines the direction of causality between government expenditure and revenue in Nigeria from 1961 to 2010. It employs various econometric techniques, including cointegration analysis and Granger causality tests. The results show that government expenditure and revenue converge to a long-run equilibrium relationship. Additionally, there is unidirectional causality running from expenditure to revenue, supporting the Peacock-Wiseman hypothesis that government spending leads to increased revenue collection. This finding implies the hypothesis holds true in Nigeria in both the short-run and long-run, indicating that spending decisions typically precede revenue decisions.
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.
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.
Effect of budget deficits on economic growthNigus Temare
The main objective of this study was to investigate the effect of budget deficit on economic growth in Ethiopia. For this purpose, the study used time series secondary data, and the data was extracted from the World Bank development indicators, Ministry of Finance, and National Planning and Development Commission of Ethiopia. The data covered a period running from 1994 to 2020.The study employed the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) co-integration technique to determine the long and short-run relationship between budget deficit and economic growth. The findings resulted from modeling and analysis of the study showed that there exists a negative relationship between budget deficit and economic growth in Ethiopia and these results are consistent with the neoclassical economist schools of thought. Besides, the inflation rate is affecting the economic growth negatively and significantly whereas, government expenditure and trade openness affect the economy positively and statistically significant in the long run. On the other hand, the analysis in the short-run revealed that the budget deficit is positive but statistically insignificant. This indicates that budget deficit changes have no immediate effect on economic growth. The study suggested some policies which are important for the government of Ethiopia to avoid certain levels of the budget deficit to achieve the desired level of growth.
The Peacock-Wiseman Hypothesis proposes that government spending evolves in a step-like pattern coinciding with social upheavals like wars. It involves three related elements: 1) The displacement effect, where spending increases during disturbances, raising taxes and the budget. 2) The inspection effect, where increased spending leads to reviewing revenue needs. 3) The concentration effect, where spending and revenue stabilize at a new higher level until the next disturbance causes another displacement effect. Along with these effects, it explains the concept of a tolerance level of taxation that a population is willing to tolerate.

Revisiting the link between government spending and economic growth in the pr...iosrjce
This paper aims to revisit the link between government spending and economic growth in the present
of Wagner’s Law in Nigeria from 1972-2011. The examination is based on the functional form of Wagner Law
augmented by incorporating the square of GDP. We employed ARDL bound testing, combine cointegration and
Toda-Yamamoto non- Granger causality test in this study. Cointegration was found in both methods, and the
causality test supports the presence of Wagner’ Law. However, increase in GDP (i.e. Square of GDP) has an
adverse impact on economic growth. This shows that GDP as a proxy for economic growth has a certain point
from which, any additional increase will reduce government spending. Therefore, the government needs to come
up with programs that will motivate small and medium enterprises at all levels of government. Hence, the
increase in GDP in the long run, tend to reduce government expenditure, which in turn prevents deficit
financing
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.
The document discusses key aspects of the Islamic fiscal system, including sources of revenue and areas of expenditure. It notes that early Islamic states primarily collected zakat and usher (custom duties) from Muslims, and jizya (poll tax) and kharaj (land revenue) from non-Muslims. Additional non-tax revenues included rents, war booty, and voluntary contributions. The document outlines principles for taxation and public borrowing in the Islamic economic framework.
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.
The impact of government agricultural expenditure on economic growth in zimbabweAlexander Decker
This document summarizes a study that investigated the impact of government agricultural expenditure on economic growth in Zimbabwe from 1980 to 2009. The study employed a log linear regression model with gross domestic product as the dependent variable and factors such as government expenditure on agriculture, investment, and consumption as explanatory variables. The regression analysis found that increased spending on agricultural research and development can improve economic growth. However, insufficient government expenditure on agricultural extension and credit assistance adversely affected economic growth in Zimbabwe. The results provide evidence that agriculture is an engine of economic growth in the country.

This document discusses fiscal policy and its role in stabilizing the economy. It covers several key points:
1) Fiscal policy involves manipulating taxes and government spending to influence output, employment, and inflation. The government can use expansionary policy to boost aggregate demand during recessions or contractionary policy to reduce demand and inflation.
2) Models show how changes in spending and taxes shift the aggregate demand curve. Expansionary policy leads to higher output and deficit spending, while contractionary policy lowers prices but maintains full employment.
3) Problems with fiscal policy include recognition lags, other government goals conflicting with stabilization, and political business cycles that pursue expansion in election years regardless of economic conditions.
Monetary Policy is key driver of growth. It plays very important role in economy of the nation. Islamic Finance is growing fast and it has major role in new Economic Policies of the nation. There can be different strategy and plan to build long term perspective of Islamic Monetary Policy.
This document provides an overview of chapter 4 of a Grade 12 Economics textbook. It covers key macroeconomic concepts like national accounts, circular flow of income, and approaches to compiling national accounts using output, expenditure and income. It also defines macroeconomic objectives such as full employment, price stability, economic growth, balance of payments stability, equitable income distribution, and sustainable development. Specific policies and indicators are discussed for each objective.
Fiscal Policy and its effects of Economy.Eop Abid Hussain Sindhu, M14BBA036,...564251
Government spending can positively or negatively impact the economy of Pakistan. Productive government spending on sectors like agriculture, industry, education and services can increase productivity, boost living standards, and promote development by creating jobs. However, unproductive spending like large debts and subsidies can reduce resources, hinder productivity and lead to high inflation. Additionally, taxes can negatively impact the economy by reducing productivity, investment, GDP and causing unemployment, poverty and income inequality if not implemented carefully. While foreign aid and loans provide some benefits, they also reduce self-sufficiency and future taxation may be required for repayment. Overall, both government earnings and spending must be balanced and directed towards productive sectors to positively impact Pakistan's economy.
Fiscal policy refers to a government's spending and tax policies. It aims to stabilize economic growth and avoid booms and busts. Fiscal policy tools include government spending, taxation, and borrowing. Governments use these tools to influence aggregate demand and influence goals like economic growth, inflation, and unemployment. Fiscal policy plays a crucial role in mobilizing resources, boosting employment and development, and stabilizing an economy.
1. This chapter discusses fiscal policy as a tool for stabilizing the economy through manipulating government spending and taxes.
2. It explores discretionary and automatic fiscal adjustments using the AD-AS model and covers problems like recognition lags that complicate fiscal policy effectiveness.
3. Evaluating fiscal policy involves examining standardized budgets that adjust for cyclical factors to determine if policy is expansionary or contractionary.

This document summarizes a study that examined the structure and growth of federal government expenditure in Nigeria from 1970 to 2009. The study used time series data and ordinary least squares regression analysis. The results revealed that several factors contributed to the growth of government expenditure in Nigeria over this period, including fiscal deficit, gross domestic product, government revenue, and debt servicing. The study recommends that the government maintain fiscal discipline, prevent high inflation, and ensure productive use of revenue to help reduce growth in government spending.
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.

Fiscal policy refers to a government's taxing and spending policies and is used to influence macroeconomic conditions. The key instruments of fiscal policy are public expenditure, taxation, and public borrowing. The main objectives of fiscal policy are to mobilize resources, efficiently allocate financial resources, reduce income inequality, expand employment, maintain price stability and control inflation, and correct imbalances in the balance of payments.
Fiscal policy uses government spending and taxation to influence the economy. It aims to achieve stability without inflation or deflation. The budget estimates revenues and expenditures and is an anti-inflation tool to sustain growth. Revenues come from taxes, fees, loans, etc. and are spent on productive items like infrastructure or non-productive like defense. Fiscal policy can be neutral, expansionary, or contractionary depending on if spending equals, exceeds, or is less than revenues. The objectives are equal wealth distribution, savings, price stability, and economic stability. Limitations include inflexibility, statistics, and decision delays. Islam advocates equal distribution, zakat, and limiting spending imbalances.
Fiscal policy uses government spending and taxation to influence economic activity. It aims to achieve full employment and price stability. The government establishes fiscal policy through the annual federal budget. Expansionary fiscal policy stimulates the economy through tax cuts and spending increases, while contractionary policy slows growth via tax hikes and spending cuts. However, fiscal policy faces limitations as its effects are difficult to predict and coordinate. Large, sustained deficits lead to rising national debt levels, which can crowd out private investment and increase interest payments over time.

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.
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.

The objectives are equal wealth distribution, savings, price stability, and economic stability. Limitations include inflexibility, statistics, and decision delays. Islam advocates equal distribution, zakat, and limiting spending imbalances.
Fiscal policy uses government spending and taxation to influence economic activity. It aims to achieve full employment and price stability. The government establishes fiscal policy through the annual federal budget. Expansionary fiscal policy stimulates the economy through tax cuts and spending increases, while contractionary policy slows growth via tax hikes and spending cuts. However, fiscal policy faces limitations as its effects are difficult to predict and coordinate. Large, sustained deficits lead to rising national debt levels, which can crowd out private investment and increase interest payments over time.

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.
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.

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.
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.
Econometric analysis of the effectiveness of fiscal policy in economic growth...Alexander Decker
This document summarizes a study that analyzed the effectiveness of fiscal policy in Nigeria between 1985-2003. It investigated the impact of fiscal policy on GDP, inflation, and balance of payments. The study found that fiscal policy was effective in controlling inflation and balance of payments, as the models explained 75-76% of variations in these variables. However, fiscal policy was not effective in controlling GDP, as the model only explained 48% of GDP variations. The study concluded that government expenditure was not directed towards productive ventures that could increase GDP. It recommended that government redirect spending towards productive sectors and provide tax concessions to infant industries.
IMPACT OF FISCAL POLICY AND MONETARY POLICY ON THE ECONOMIC GROWTH OF NIGERIA...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: This research work focused on the impact of fiscal and monetary policy on Nigeria‟s economic
growth between 1980 and 2016. In the study, variables such as government expenditure and taxation revenue
were used to proxy fiscal policy while the broad money supply was employed as a proxy for monetary policy.
The other variable employed as controlled variable is interest rate. The unit root test confirmed that all the
variables were not stationary at levels but were stationary at first difference. Also, the Johansen cointegration
test confirmed that a long run relationship exists between fiscal policy, monetary policy and economic growth in
Nigeria. The empirical results reported using the ordinary least squares technique suggested that fiscal policy
has positive and significant impact on economic growth, and monetary policy has positive impact on economic
growth as well. We, therefore, conclude that both fiscal and monetary policies have positive and significant
impact on Nigeria‟s economic growth between 1980 and 2016. To this end, we recommend that the Federal
Government of Nigeria should focus on using the fiscal policy instruments to stimulate the economy in the
desired direction in order to sustain economic growth process. We also call on the Central Bank of Nigeria to
consistently embark on appropriate and effective monetary policy to boost the economy. Furthermore, since
interest rate is observed to negatively impact economic growth, efforts should be made as lowering the cost of
borrowing in the commercial banks and other financial institutions in order to boost investment and increase
economic growth in the country.

Empirical investigation of government expenditure and revenue nexus; implicat...Alexander Decker
This document summarizes a study that examined the relationship between government expenditure and revenue in Nigeria from 1961 to 2010. It employed various econometric techniques, including unit root tests, cointegration tests, error correction models, and Granger causality tests. The results showed that government expenditure and revenue were not cointegrated and there was no long-run relationship between the two variables. The error correction models provided evidence of a divergence rather than convergence relationship. The Granger causality tests found no causality between expenditure and revenue. Overall, the findings supported the hypothesis of institutional separation, meaning the government's decisions around spending and revenue raising were independent of each other.
Foreign Aid and Fiscal Behaviour in Nigeria: An Impact Assessment of Deregula...iosrjce
The study examined the influence of deregulation on the relationship between foreign aid and fiscal
behaviour in Nigeria. The equation which described foreign aid as function of important fiscal variables and
other macroeconomic variables is derived from the famous two-gap model. Chow test is used to examine if there
is any structural changes since the adoption of deregulation that has significantly affected the relationship
between foreign aid and fiscal behaviour. The result shows that deregulation has positively and significantly
affected the impact of fiscal behaviour in Nigeria on foreign aid accessibility. But the effect has been short-lived
recently owing to the recent drastic fall in foreign aid available to Nigeria despite the sustained increase in both
government revenue and expenditure. It is recommended that assessment of other shocks that can affect the
fiscal behaviour in Nigeria should be conducted with a view to getting the reason why deregulation fails to
maintain positive relationship that exists between fiscal behaviour and foreign aid in Nigeria.
Economic aggregates, sustainable development and dialectics of deficits in ni...Alexander Decker
This document summarizes a journal article that examines the relationship between budget deficits and key economic aggregates in Nigeria, such as GDP, inflation, interest rates, and money supply. The study uses time series data from Nigerian government agencies to analyze these relationships econometrically. The results reveal that budget deficits are significantly related to GDP, inflation, interest rates, and money supply in Nigeria. The document recommends that the Nigerian government uphold strategic economic management ideals to justify deficit financing, including budget objectivity, fiscal frugality, and ensuring investment viability.

An evaluation of economic strategies in budget deficit reduction in kenyaAlexander Decker
This document evaluates economic strategies to reduce budget deficits in Kenya. It discusses how budget deficits have negatively impacted developing countries through high inflation, increased debt, and reduced sovereignty. The Kenyan government has struggled with persistent budget deficits despite attempts to widen the tax base and implement austerity measures to cut spending. The study aims to evaluate additional economic strategies, such as tax policy reforms, controlling inflation, increasing technology innovation, and managing government expenditures, that could help Kenya reduce its budget deficits.
Tax policy, inflation and unemployment in nigeria (1970 – 2008)Alexander Decker
This document summarizes a study examining Nigeria's use of tax policy from 1970 to 2008 to influence macroeconomic indicators like inflation and unemployment. Statistical analysis found that inflation and unemployment rates did not significantly respond to tax policy changes during this period. Periods of lower taxes saw both higher and lower inflation in some years, and unemployment increased steadily in some years regardless of whether taxes were raised or lowered. The inconsistent use of tax measures meant they were not effective at controlling inflation or unemployment. The document reviews economic theory on taxation as a tool for macroeconomic management and outlines Nigeria's various tax policy changes over this period.

The impact of inflation, policy rate and government consumption expenditure o...Alexander Decker
This document analyzes the impact of inflation, policy rate, and government consumption expenditure on GDP growth in Ghana from 1980-2010 using time series econometric analysis. The results show:
1) There is a positive long-run relationship between inflation and GDP growth as well as between the policy rate and GDP growth. However, government consumption expenditure has a negative long-run impact on GDP growth.
2) In the short-run, inflation and government consumption expenditure positively impact GDP growth, while the policy rate has an inverse relationship with GDP growth.
3) Of the three variables, only inflation has a statistically significant impact on real GDP growth in Ghana. The study recommends prudent monetary and fiscal policies aimed at stabil
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
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.
The nexus between budget deficit and inflation in the nigerianAlexander Decker
This research paper examines the relationship between budget deficits and inflation in Nigeria from 1980 to 2009. It uses time series data and the vector error correction mechanism to analyze the correlation between the two macroeconomic variables. The results show there is a significant causal relationship from budget deficits to inflation, but not from inflation to budget deficits, indicating a unidirectional causality. This means budget deficits directly and indirectly affect inflation through increases in the money supply in the Nigerian economy. The paper recommends adequate monetary policy to balance the role of money supply in influencing both budget deficits and inflation, given the unidirectional relationship found between the two variables.
A parametric debate of value added tax, economic growth and poverty reduction...Alexander Decker
This study examines the relationship between Value Added Tax (VAT) revenue, economic growth, and poverty reduction in Nigeria using time series data from 1994-2012. Two regression models are used. The first finds that VAT revenue has a positive and significant impact on economic growth. The second finds that economic growth has a negative but insignificant impact on poverty reduction. The descriptive statistics show average annual growth rates for GDP, government revenue, VAT, capital expenditure, secondary school enrollment, poverty rate, and labor force. Correlation analysis indicates GDP, government revenue, VAT, and secondary school enrollment are positively correlated, while capital expenditure and poverty rate are negatively correlated with other variables.

Abnormalities of hormones and inflammatory cytokines in women affected with p...Alexander Decker
Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have elevated levels of hormones like luteinizing hormone and testosterone, as well as higher levels of insulin and insulin resistance compared to healthy women. They also have increased levels of inflammatory markers like C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, and leptin. This study found these abnormalities in the hormones and inflammatory cytokines of women with PCOS ages 23-40, indicating that hormone imbalances associated with insulin resistance and elevated inflammatory markers may worsen infertility in women with PCOS.

A universal model for managing the marketing executives in nigerian banksAlexander Decker
This document discusses a study that aimed to synthesize motivation theories into a universal model for managing marketing executives in Nigerian banks. The study was guided by Maslow and McGregor's theories. A sample of 303 marketing executives was used. The results showed that managers will be most effective at motivating marketing executives if they consider individual needs and create challenging but attainable goals. The emerged model suggests managers should provide job satisfaction by tailoring assignments to abilities and monitoring performance with feedback. This addresses confusion faced by Nigerian bank managers in determining effective motivation strategies.

Abstract
Wagner’s law viewed that public expenditure is a consequence rather than cause of national income hence; it
plays no role in generating national income. While Keynes viewed that public expenditure is a cause rather than
effect of national income therefore can be used to heighten economic activities. In the developing economy like
Nigeria, which of these schools prevails, Wagner or Keynes? This study seeks to answer this question by
determining the nature and direction of causality between government spending and the economic growth as well
as the relationship between these macroeconomic variables. The study employs the Granger causality and
ordinary least square (OLS) technique to evaluate the empirical evidence of the relationship between fiscal
policy and economic growth in Nigeria by using an econometric technique through multiple regression models
that was derived from the Solow growth model. After testing for granger causality, the result reveals that there is
a bidirectional relationship between government spending and economic growth in Nigeria, thus we find support
of Wagner’s and Keynesian hypotheses. Also, the analysis showed that government expenditure in our Nigerian
economy had direct effect on economic growth; therefore, there is need for appropriate policies with respect to
government spending knowing that it affects the level of growth. To achieve sustainable economic growth,
Government expenditure should be increased in the economy.
Keywords: Government Expenditure, Economic Growth, Wagner law and Granger causality.

1. INTRODUCTION
Public expenditure and economic growth have been at the focus of public finance, since the magnitude
of public expenditure has been increasing over time in almost all the countries of the world. It is therefore
necessary for governments to know the causal relationship between the two. Theoretically, there are two
competing school of thought defining this causal relationship. First, Wagner (1883) postulated that public
expenditure is an endogenous variable and that there exist long-run tendencies for public expenditure to grow
relatively to some national income aggregates such as the gross domestic product (GDP). Moreover, public
expenditure is a consequence rather than cause of national income. In other words, the causality between public
expenditure and national income runs from national income to public expenditure. Therefore, Wagner’s law
viewed that public expenditure plays no role in generating national income.
However, Keynes (1936) argued that public expenditure is an exogenous variable and can be used to
generate national income. For this reason, public expenditure is a cause rather than effect of national income
which is in contrast with Wagner’s law. He raised the idea that during economic depression government
expenditure can be used to heighten economic activities. Therefore, the causal relationship should run from
public expenditure to national income (Tang 2009).
The term fiscal policy has conventionally been associated with the use of taxation and public
expenditure to influence the level of economic activities. It has to do with two major activities; taxation on one
side; then government expenditure on the other side. This study will only concentrate on the government
expenditure side.
In Nigeria, government expenditure has been on the rise owing to the huge receipts from production and
sales of crude oil, and the increased demand for public goods like roads, power, education, communication, and
health. Moreover, there is increasing need to provide both internal and external security for the people and the
nation. Unfortunately, this rising government expenditure has not translated into meaningful growth and
development, as Nigeria ranks among the poorest countries in the world. The result of government role in
economic activities and the achievements in economic performance have been mixed. For instance, the economy
will experience growth in real output in some years and declines in others. Meanwhile, the economy is mostly
dominated by the public sector except recently that the government is trying to adopt privatization policy. But
the overall picture is low scoring for the country’s developmental efforts. The objectives of monetary and fiscal
policies in Nigeria are wide-ranging, involving Gross Domestic Product growth rate, reduction in the rates of
inflation and unemployment, improvement in the balance of payments, accumulation of financial savings and
external reserves as well as stability in Naira exchange rate. The guiding principle as well as instruments applied
to attain these objectives, however, have until recently been far from adequate. Perhaps, this could be attributed
to inconsistency in the formulation and implementation of vibrant policies.

Various empirical studies on the relationship between government expenditure and economic growth
arrived at different and even conflicting results. Some studies suggest that increase in government expenditure
on socio-economic and physical infrastructures impact on long run growth rate. For instance, government
expenditure on health and education raises the productivity of labour and increase the growth of national output.
Equally, expenditure on infrastructure such as road, power etc. reduces production costs, increase
private sector investment and profitability of firms, thus ensuring increase in economic activities and economic
growth (see; Barro, 1990; Barro & Sali -i-Martin, 1992; Roux, 1994; Okojie, 1995). On the other hand,
observations that growth in government spending, mainly based on non-productive spending is accompanied by
a reduction in income growth has given rise to the hypothesis that the greater the size of government intervention
the more negative is its impact on economic growth (Glomm and Ravikumar, 1997; Abu and Abdullah, 2010).
Government expenditure is considered an important variable which may determine changes in national
income in developing countries like Nigeria. In other words, fiscal policy is a major economic stabilisation
weapon that involves measure taken to regulate and control the volume, cost and availability as well as direction
of money in an economy to achieve some specified macroeconomic policy objective and to counteract
undesirable trends in the Nigerian economy (Gbosi, 1998). To stimulate the economic growth by means of fiscal
policy, the country must adopt more instruments. These according to Ebimobowei (2010) include; the financing
of direct investments which the private sector would not provide an adequate quantities; the efficient supply of
certain public services which are necessary to ensure the basic conditions to display the economic activity and
long term investments; and the financing of public activities so as to minimize the distortions to come up with
the decisions to spend and invest proper in the private sector. These instruments can be gotten through the nature
and level of government spending in the economy. Though it can also be achieve either by an increase or a
decrease in taxes, government expenditures constitute the bedrock of fiscal policy but in reality, government
policy requires a mixture of both fiscal and monetary policy instruments to stabilize an economy because none of
these single instruments can cure all the problems in an economy (Ndiyo and Udah, 2003).
Despite several fiscal measures introduced since 1986, and given the prominence of fiscal policy in
macroeconomic management in Nigeria, growth has not accelerated as expected and as such poverty remains
widespread and pervasive, particularly in the rural areas. One could ask,
What is the role of fiscal policy in inducing economic growth in an economy, redistributing income and
reducing poverty in Nigeria? Could fiscal policy be designed so as to ensure economic growth and reduce
poverty while maintaining macroeconomic stability? Furthermore, does government spending in Nigeria
contribute to economic growth and development? These are crucial questions to ask given the renewed interest
of the current democratic structure in poverty alleviation and given that fiscal policy is the arrowhead of the
policy package of the current policy framework in Nigeria. This study intend to focus specifically on one side
(government expenditure) in achieving the following objectives; 1. To determine the nature and direction of
causality between government spending and economic growth in Nigeria, by testing for the Wagner’s hypothesis
and its reverse (Keynesian approach). 2. Determining the relationship between governments spending and
economic growth with other control variables like money supply, domestic investment and labour. This will help
to decide if the current pace of public spending in our economy is productive and should be encouraged or not.
The paper has five sections; section one is the Introduction, section two contains the Literature review, section
three is the Methodology, section four is Empirical results and discussion while section five is conclusion and
policy recommendations.

2. LITERATURE REVIEW
Many studies show that government expenditure is positively related with economic growth and
poverty reduction but due to high expenditure most of the developing countries are facing the problem of fiscal
deficit. Fiscal deficit leads to inflation in the economy. According to Mehmood and Sadiq (2010), in many
developing countries high fiscal deficit crowding out the private investment in the long run and decreases the
employment and output which adversely affects the poverty.
As economic growth may increases through government spending. Jamshaid et al (2010) examined the
relationship between economic growth and government expenditure, both at bivariate (aggregate) and
multivariate (disaggregate) systems and concluded that economic growth causes government expenditure at
bivariate level and also supported that increase in GDP causes growth in government expenditure - Wagner’s
hypothesis.
Singh and Sahni (1984) investigated the relationship between national income and government expenditures in
India and discovered no causal relationship among the variables indicating the failure of both Wagner’s law and
Keynes hypothesis. In Muhlis and Hakan (2003) work, an investigation of the long-run relationship between
public expenditure and GDP for the Turkish economy was studied using time series annual data. They employed
co-integration and Granger Causality tests and discovered that neither Wagner’s Law nor Keynes’ hypothesis
was valid in Turkey.

Also, Ergun and Tuck (2006) in studying the direction of causality between national income and government
expenditures for Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand using Granger causality test,
discovered no Support for the hypothesis that causality runs from government expenditures to national income.
This was found only in the case of Philippines. There was no evidence for this hypothesis and its reverse for the
other countries.
Similarly, Olugbenga and Owoye (2007) studied the relationships between government expenditure and
economic growth for a group of 30 OECD countries, using annual data during the period 1970-2005. The
variables of interest were total government expenditure (TGE) and gross domestic product (GDP) with the use of
co-integration and Granger causality tests. The results showed the existence of a long-run relationship between
government expenditure and economic growth. More so, the authors observed a unidirectional causality from
government expenditure to growth for only 16 countries, hence supporting the Keynesian hypothesis.
Nevertheless, causality runs from economic growth to government expenditure in 10 among the 30 countries,
confirming Wagner’s law as quoted in Sevitenyi (2012), while a bi-causal relationship between government
expenditure and economic growth, for four countries was discovered.
Omoke (2009) investigated the direction of causality between Government expenditure (GE) and National
Income (NI) in Nigeria using co-integration and Granger Causality tests for annual time series data. In his result,
he discovered that there was no long-run relationship existed between government expenditure and national
income in Nigeria between 1970 and 2005. Also, the Granger causality test revealed that causality ran from
government expenditure to national income thus concluding that government expenditure plays a significant role
in promoting economic growth in Nigeria. Jamshaid et al. (2010) examined the nature and the direction of
causality in Pakistan between public expenditure and national income. Applying the Toda-Yamamoto causality
test for annual data, they concluded that there was a unidirectional causality running from GDP to government
expenditure, which supports Wagner’s Law. Interest for the Wagner hypothesis attracted the attention of many
economists after the translation of the original work of Wagner by Cooke (1958), however the interest had
declined at the end of 1970s. Although, the increased public spending in most countries, new development of
econometric techniques, and the last translation of Wagner’s work by Biehl (1998) attracted again the interest of
many policy makers and economists.
As indicated by Richter and Dimitrios (2012), there are six (6) different versions of Wagner’s law:
Peacock and Wiseman (1961), Gupta (1967), Goffman (1968) , Pryor (1969), Musgrave (1969), Goffman and
Mahar (1971) and Mann (1980). These are listed below;

essentially following Keynes, have treated public expenditure as an exogenous policy instrument designed to
correct short-term cyclical fluctuations in aggregate expenditures”(Demirbas 1999 as quoted in Richer
Dimitrios 2012).
In Nigeria, the trend of government expenditure during 1970 to 2012 shows that government
expenditure in the early 70s was mainly deficits has shown in figure 1 below.
From the figure we have it that government expenditure have the same pattern of movement with
national income except in 1977 to 1978 when there was a decrease in government expenditure.

3. METHODOLOGY AND DATA
This study adopts a quantitative method to evaluate the empirical evidence of the relationship between
government expenditure and economic growth in Nigeria. The method of analysis has been an econometric
technique using multiple regression models that is derived from the Solow growth model. The data used in this
study is secondary annual time series covering 1970 – 2012. The basic data for this analysis are rate of; Gross
Domestic Product (GDP), government total expenditure, labour force, (proxied by population) gross fixed capital
formation (GFCF) used as proxy for domestic investment and money supply. These data were collected from the
statistical bulletin – a publication of the Central Bank of Nigeria.
Based on the specific objectives of this study, we approached the methodology thus:
Objective 1 was analysed by using the Granger causality test to ascertain the causal relationship between
government spending and economic growth in Nigeria. The Granger causality test is a statistical hypothesis test
for determining whether one time series is useful in forecasting another. In other word it is a test to check if the
action or performance of one variable has an effect or causes the existence of another.
Objective 2 was analysed by using the ordinary least square (OLS) regression technique to determine
the relationship between fiscal policy and economic growth in Nigeria. In statistics, ordinary least squares (OLS)
or linear least squares is a method for estimating the unknown parameters in a linear regression model. This
method minimizes the sum of squared vertical distances between the observed responses in the dataset and the
responses predicted by the linear approximation. The resulting estimator can be expressed by a simple formula,
especially in the case of a single regressor on the right-hand side.
The OLS estimator is consistent when the regressors are exogenous and there is no perfect multicollinearity,
and optimal in the class of linear unbiased estimators when the errors are homoscedastic and serially
uncorrelated. Under these conditions, the method of OLS provides minimum-variance mean-unbiased estimation
when the errors have finite variances. Under the additional assumption that the errors be normally distributed,
OLS is the maximum likelihood estimator and have the BLUE properties which are Best Linear Unbiased
Estimator.
We experimented with the different functional forms of the equation relating fiscal and economic
growth viz: linear, semi-log, double-log and exponential forms.

3.1 MODEL SPECIFICATION
In this section, we postulate a model that seeks to examine the effects of some selected fiscal policy variables on
economic growth in Nigeria. Our specification of a growth model is based on the Solow growth model that
emphasized the significance of investment (i.e. capital) and labour effectiveness in promoting growth. The
Solow growth model is symbolically represented below:
Q = f (K, L) ………………………………………… (1)
Where Q is the national output, K represents capital resources employed and L for unit of labour employed in the
production process. However, since our focus is on the public sector influence, the model includes Government
spending as one of the factors that explain growth.
The output (growth) model specified for the purpose of this study is presented thus:
GDPRt = f (TGERt, GFCFRt, POPRt, MSRt) ………………………………………. (2)
45
(+) (+) (+) (+)
Where:
GDPt = Growth rate of real GDP
TGERt = growth rate of total Government expenditure
GFCFRt = rate of Investment (proxied by Gross Fixed Capital formation or Domestic Investment)
POPRt = growth rate of the population
MSRt = rate of Money supply at time t
The figures in the parentheses represent the a priori expectations about the signs of the coefficients.
The study also employed the following Diagnostic tests:
1. Unit root tests of stationarity: In statistics, a unit root test tests whether a time series variable is non-stationary
using an autoregressive model. A well-known test that is valid in large samples is the augmented
Dickey–Fuller test. The optimal finite sample tests for a unit root in autoregressive models were developed
by Denis Sargan and Alok Bhargava. Another test is the Phillips–Perron test. These tests use the existence
of a unit root as the null hypothesis. The stationarity status of the variables in this study is established by
considering the order of integration of each variable in the model using the Augmented Dickey-Fuller
(ADF) and Phillips-Perron (PP) classes of unit root tests. We use the PP approach to test for stationary of
the variables because PP test statistic, which is a modification of the ADF, takes into account the less
restrictive nature of the error process. Moreover, this replaces the use of lag in the ADF test.
2. Normality test: normality tests are used to determine if a data set is well-modelled by a normal distribution
and to compute how likely it is for a random variable underlying the data set to be normally distributed.
One of the normality tests is the Jarque–Bera test. This is a goodness-of-fit test of whether sample data have
the skewness and kurtosis matching a normal distribution. The test is named after Carlos Jarque and Anil K.
Bera.
3. Serial correlation: this is the relationship between a given variable and itself over various time intervals.
Serial correlations are often found in repeating patterns when the level of a variable affects its future level.
Example of this test is the Breusch–Godfrey-Bertolo test which is used to assess the validity of some of the
modelling assumptions inherent in applying regression-like models to observed data series. In particular, it
tests for the presence of serial dependence that has not been included in a proposed model structure and
which, if present, would mean that incorrect conclusions would be drawn from other tests, or that sub-optimal
estimates of model parameters are obtained if it is not taken into account.
4. Auto regressive conditional heteroscedasticity (arch LM test): In econometrics, Auto Regressive
Conditional Heteroskedasticity (ARCH) models are used to characterize and model observed time series.
They are used whenever there is reason to believe that, at any point in a series, the error terms will have a
characteristic size, or variance. In particular ARCH models assume the variance of the current error term or
innovation to be a function of the actual sizes of the previous time periods' error terms: often the variance is
related to the squares of the previous innovations. Such models are often called ARCH models (Engle,
1982), although a variety of other acronyms are applied to particular structures of model which have a
similar basis. ARCH models are employed commonly in modelling financial time series that exhibit time-varying
volatility clustering, i.e. periods of swings followed by periods of relative calm.
5. Specification error: In regression analysis specification is the process of developing a regression model.
This process consists of selecting an appropriate functional form for the model and choosing which
variables to include. As a first step of regression analysis, a person specifies the model. If an estimated
model is misspecified, it will be biased and inconsistent. An example of this test is the Ramsey Regression
Equation Specification Error Test (RESET) test (Ramsey, 1969) is a general specification test for the linear
regression model. More specifically, it tests whether non-linear combinations of the fitted values help
explain the response variable. The intuition behind the test is that if non-linear combinations of the
explanatory variables have any power in explaining the response variable, the model is mis-specified.

4. EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION OF FINDINGS
4.1 UNIT ROOT Tests Results
The result of unit root test of stationarity is shown in table 1a for the Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test and
table 1b for the Phillip Perron (PP) test below. In the results, we discover that all the variables in the estimated
model are integrated in the same level I(0), both in the Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) and Phillip-Perron (PP)
test for unit root, hence the variables are stable and the model can be estimated using Ordinary Least Square
(OLS) method.

The result of Granger causality test as shown in table 2 above reveals that there is a significant relationship
between government spending and economic growth in Nigeria. The direction of causality flows from
government spending to economic growth (Keynesian hypothesis) and also from economic growth to
government spending (Wagner hypothesis), in other word, there is a bidirectional relationship between
government spending and economic growth. Other pair wise results show that labour (population) does not
granger cause economic growth and vice versa, there is a bidirectional effect between domestic capital and
economic growth in the Nigerian economy as investment (gross fixed capital formation have a bidirectional
effect with government expenditure also. Lastly, the result indicates that there is a unidirectional effect between
population growth and growth in government expenditure, flowing from population growth to government
expenditure. From this, it is pertinent to be careful of the spending made by the central government in Nigeria as
it will affect the level of growth either negatively or positively.

We also went ahead to conduct the normality test for the distribution using Jarque-Bera test. This is to determine
if our data set is well-modelled by a normal distribution and to check it’s goodness-of-fit. The result of this test
shows that there is a problem with normality and therefore we will use log to transform the variables in the
model. This explains the use of log in the estimated model. Another test was the serial correlation test.
Using Breusch Godfrey LM we tested for serial correlation of the variables in the model. The result
of this test is shown in appendix 3. In the result, the top part of the output presents the test statistics and
associated probability values. The test regression used to carry out the test is reported below the statistics. The
statistic labelled “Obs*R-squared” is the LM test statistic for the null hypothesis of no serial correlation. The
approximately one probability value in the auto regressive conditional heteroscedasticity LM test strongly
indicates that there is no presence of heteroskedasticity in the residuals.

The regression analysis was conducted to check the effect of government spending on the level of economic
growth in Nigeria. We employ Eviews 5.0 to analyse the empirical evidence for Nigeria using ordinary least
square (OLS) method. Specifically we experimented with different functional form; double log; exponential;
semi log and linear equation. From the results we chose exponential equation since this result has the highest
explanatory power (coefficient of determination) with minimum values of Akaike and Schwarz information
criteria (according to Gujarati and Porter 2009 the equation with the least AIC and SIC should be accepted). In
the exponential equation result, using the p-values, the three variables that are statistically significant are
domestic investment, population and money supply. Investment and money supply has a negative effect on
economic growth in Nigeria. This is contrary to the apriori expectation while increase in population positively
affects the economic growth as explained in the theory. The main variable of focus (growth of Government
expenditure) positively influences the rate of economic growth in the economy and conforms to the apriori
expectation.
The coefficient of determination shows that 85.3% of the changes in the economic system is caused by
the model while only 14.7% of this variation is cause by variables outside the model (error term). The p-value
also shows that the entire model is statistically significant at 5% level of significance as the value is zero. Also,
from the Durbin-Watson result, the result is accepted with the result of 1.99 which is approximately 2, showing
that there is no auto correlation problem in the model.
Using the estimated residual from the regression, the probability distribution of the error terms shows that the
residuals from the economic growth regression seem to be symmetrically distributed. Application of the Jarque-
Bera test shows that the JB statistic is about 2.0887 and the probability of obtaining such a statistic is about 35%.
Therefore, we do not reject the hypothesis that the error terms are normally distributed. But keep in mind that the

sample size of 42 observations may not be large enough. The white test shows that there is no heteroscedasticity
on the basis that the product of observation and R2 of 12.6503 is higher than the critical value for 3 df.
Moreover, from the adjusted R-squared, we observed that 80.4% of variation in the economy is explained by the
model while only 19.6% of changes in the economy is explained by variables outside the model (error term). The
F-statistic result indicates that the entire model is statistically significant given that its value is greater than the
tabulated F-ratio at 5% level of significance.
4.4 POLICY IMPLICATION OF FINDINGS
Based on the empirical findings, we have the following policy implications;
The granger causality result shows that there is bidirectional causality between economic growth and growth of
government expenditure. This implies that the level and nature of government spending will affect the rate of
economic growth and the rate of growth too will affect the level of government spending. For this reason,
government should be prudent in their spending knowing that this will have effect on the level of growth in the
economy.
The result shows that the growth of money supply does not promote economic growth in our economy and is
significant in the estimated model. This to some extent could be as a result of balance of trade disequilibrium in
the international market, as an increase in the money supply in our economy only leads to increase in the
importation of foreign goods and services rather than promoting the domestic product in our economy for
increase in economic activities and growth in the economy. This is also the true picture of our economy since an
average Nigerian prefers foreign goods and services to the domestic ones. To this extent it is pertinent for
government to control the level of money supply to achieve economic growth in the economy.
Since labour in the result promotes economic growth in the Nigerian economy, policies on the economic sector
that will be labour intensive should be promoted to make use of the abundant labour force that Nigeria is richly
endowed with. This will in turn promote our economic growth.
Government expenditure should be increased in the economy since this macroeconomic variable directly
influences the economy to promote economic growth.
5. CONCLUSION
This study sought to appraise the nature and direction of causality as well as the relationship between
government spending and economic growth by testing for the Wagner’s hypothesis and its reverse (Keynesian
approach) for of Nigeria spanning from 1970-2012. In order to give this study a direction, two null research
hypotheses were formulated. Relevant literature was reviewed based on the theories explaining the subject
matter and determining the major variables of the study. The research design used for this study was the
exploratory and quantitative research design. Econometric techniques were the quantitative tools used to conduct
the empirical analysis in the Nigeria’s context. Accordingly, starting from the nature and direction of causation,
Granger pair wise causality model was used while a multiple regression model was formulated based on the
theoretical background of the study. Ordinary least squares (OLS) method was used to estimate the equation, to
evaluate the inherent connectivity between government spending and economic growth. In particular it
undertakes and approaches to identify the determinant of Nigeria’s economic growth, the influence of
macroeconomic and investment as well as the population effect on growth.
Firstly, there is a bidirectional effect or relationship between government spending and economic
growth in Nigeria. Secondly, government spending has positive effect on economic growth the
coefficient of determination shows that 85.3% of changes in the Nigeria’s economy is explained in the
model while only 14.7% of the variation in the economy is cause by variables outside the model (error
term). This proportion shows that the model has goodness-of-fit and a strong explanatory power.
Thirdly, domestic investment has positive effect on economic growth and is statistically significant at
five per cent (5%) level of significance. An increase in the level of population will cause a 3.9%
increase in the growth of Nigeria’s economy and this is highly significant in the estimated model. Also
the analysis showed that government expenditure in our Nigerian economy had direct effect on
economic growth, therefore, there is need for appropriate policies with respect to government
spending variables for sustainable economic growth.
Given the outcome of our regression result, we came up with the following recommendations for policy
48
reforms
1. Government expenditure should be increased to promote economic growth in the country.
2. The Federal Government should ensure that the level of money supply in the economy is
controlled by the monetary authorities to achieve economic growth in the economy since
money supply has adverse effect on economic growth in Nigeria.
3. The Federal Government should also link her expenditure to domestic investment in other to
