Public Expenditure and Economic Growth: A Disaggregated Analysis for Developing Countries*

Abstract: In this paper, we examine the growth effects of government expenditure for a panel of 30 developing countries over the 1970s and 1980s, with a particular focus on disaggregated government expenditures. Our methodology improves on previous research on this topic by explicitly recognizing the role of the government budget constraint and the possible biases arising from omitted variables. Our primary results are twofold. First, the share of government capital expenditure in GDP is positively and significantly cor… Show more

“…By employing a seemingly unrelated regression, Bose et al (2007) find a negative effect of enrollment rates on GDP per capita growth, whereas Hanushek et al (2007) by maximum likelihood using the HLM (Hierarchical Linear Modeling) algorithm, show that the quantity of schooling (schooling years) has a strong positive effect on growth that is substantially reduced once quality (test scores) is considered. Using a new data set for schooling years, Cohen and Soto (2007) show that in standard growth regressions, their GMM and fixed effects estimates of schooling are positive.…”

“…In effect, the impact of disaggregated government spending on growth is commonly studied, which includes milexp, see Aschauer (1989), Easterly and Rebelo (1993), Devarajan et al (1996), Mulas-Granados et al (2002), Bose et al (2007). However, each segment of government spending may have varying effects on the long-run economic growth.…”
