Government Revenues and Expenditures in Guinea-Bissau: Causality and Cointegration

Abstract: The paper establishes empirically the temporal causality and long run relationship between government expenditures and government revenues for the case of Guinea-Bissaua low income country under stress (LICUS) in Africa. A macroeconomic model is developed to lay out the hypothesis of a spend-tax behavior in the country's public finances management system. Empirical validation is carried out by means of a traditional Granger-causality test and the estimation of an error correction model between expenditures and… Show more

“…There is argument that many empirical studies have confirmed that the primary explanation of inter-country differences in economic growth is the share of gross national product (GNP) devoted to investment; and that despite the increasing integration of the world capital markets, the rates of investment in the major industrial countries especially, are closely related to their rates of saving (Feldstein & Bacchetta, 1991;Feldstein, 1995). Intuitively, if investment has positive impact on income and hence government revenue, then saving has the same positive influence, particularly if saving enhances investment (Baghestani & McNown, 1994;Zagler & Durnecker, 2003;Baghestani & McNown, 1994;Carneiro et al, 2005). This is indirect way saving can affect revenue but the other way is direct if there are taxes levied on savings, including contribution of financial institutions to government revenue.…”

“…6, No. 11;2014 effect on budget balance and overall fiscal stance will not have been offset though (Carneiro et al, 2005). Fiscal deficit is particularly considered with exclusion of grants in our analysis, and the reason is because domestic capacity and effort that SSA has attributed to revenue generation and public financing is the major focus of this paper.…”

“…Chang and Ho (2002) find a cointegrating relationship between gross domestic product (GDP), government's revenues and expenditures, and also unidirectional causality running from government's revenues to expenditure over the period 1967 to 1999. Furthermore, Carneiro et al (2005) investigate this issue for Guinea-Bissau over the period 1981 to 2002 and find spend-and-tax possibility. Keho (2010) studies the data from 1960 to 2005 of European area to analyze the cause and effect relationship between government's expenditure and revenue collection and finds unidirectional causality from government's revenue to expenditure.…”
