Government Expenditure and Economic Growth
Author: International Monetary Fund
Publisher: International Monetary Fund
ISBN: 1451974159
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 30
Book Description
This paper examines the empirical evidence on the contribution that government and, in particular, capital expenditure make to the growth performance of a sample of developing countries. Using the Denison growth accounting approach, this study finds that social expenditures may have a significant impact on growth in the short run, but infrastructure expenditures may have little influence. While current expenditures for directly productive purposes may exert a positive influence, capital expenditure in these sectors appears to exert a negative influence. Experiments with other explanatory variables confirm the importance of the growth of exports to the overall growth rate.

The Efficiency of Government Expenditure
Author: Ms.Keiko Honjo
Publisher: International Monetary Fund
ISBN: 145192240X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 61
Book Description
This paper assesses the efficiency of government expenditure on education and health in 38 countries in Africa in 1984-95, both in relation to each other and compared with countries in Asia and the Western Hemisphere. The results show that, on average, countries in Africa are less efficient than countries in Asia and the Western Hemisphere; however, education and health spending in Africa became more efficient during that period. The assessment further suggests that improvements in educational attainment and health output in African countries require more than just higher budgetary allocations.

Government Spending, Taxes, and Economic Growth
Author: Mr.Paul Cashin
Publisher: International Monetary Fund
ISBN: 1451951477
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 36
Book Description
This paper develops an endogenous growth model of the influence of public investment, public transfers, and distortionary taxation on the rate of economic growth. The growth-enhancing effects of investment in public capital and transfer payments are modeled, as is the growth-inhibiting influence of the levying of distortionary taxes which are used to fund such expenditure. The theoretical implications of the model are then tested with data from 23 developed countries between 1971 and 1988, and time series cross sectional results are obtained which support the proposed influence of the public finance variables on economic growth.

The Impact of Fiscal Policy Variables on Output Growth
Author: Mr.Philip R. Gerson
Publisher: International Monetary Fund
ISBN: 1451841604
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 75
Book Description
This paper surveys the theoretical and empirical literature on the relationship between taxation and public expenditure and economic growth. Particular attention is paid to the effect of taxation and government expenditure on the supply and productivity of labor and physical capital. Studies suggest that well-targeted government expenditures on health, education, and infrastructure should have a positive impact on growth. By contrast, the impact of taxation on the supplies of labor and capital, and on output growth, is more muted.
