“…The study revealed that government expenditures on education, transport and communication, and health have positive but insignificant impact on economic growth in Nigeria. Amadi et al (2013) examined the effect of public spending on transport infrastructure and economic growth in Nigeria from the period 1981 to 2010. The study employed an ordinary least squares method to analyze the impact and the results show that public spending on transport infrastructure has a negative and insignificant impact on economic growth in Nigeria.…”

“…Furthermore, while a lot of empirical works abound on the relationship between transport and communication and economic growth across the globe, there exist mixed findings. For example, the studies of scholars like Narayan (2021), Barilee and Benvolio (2021), and Omokaro and Ikpere (2019) found a positive and significant relationships between transport and communication expenditure and economic growth, whereas Charles et al (2018), andAmadi et al (2013) established negative impact of government expenditure and economic growth in Nigeria. It is against this backdrop that this study attempts to examine the impact of transport and communication capital expenditure on economic growth in Nigeria.…”

One of the major impediments to the improvement of the transport and communication sector is inadequate capital spending. Despite the readiness of the government to upgrade the critical infrastructures, there still exist huge infrastructural deficits in Nigeria. Based on these, this study examines the impact of government capital expenditure on transport and communication on economic growth in Nigeria between 1986 and 2021. The study employed autoregressive distributed lag model as the method of analysis and the result reveals that in the long run, government capital expenditure on transport and communication (CEXTRC) with a coefficient value of 0.019, commercial banks’ credit to the transport and communication sector (CBCTRC) with a value of 0.025 and government revenue (GOVR) with a value of 0.065 have positive and significant impact on economic growth in Nigeria. The results also reveal that the inflation rate (INFR) with value of -0.16 has a negative and insignificant impact on economic growth in Nigeria. The short run result found that CEXTRC with value of 0.02, CBCTRC with a value of 0.04, GOVR with a value of 0.21 all have positive and significant impact on economic growth. INFR however shows a negative impact with a coefficient value of -0.28. The study therefore recommends that the government should prioritize the transport and communication sector by allocating more funds in order to provide good transport and communication systems such as railways, roads, waterways, internet, highways and so on. These would help to reduce costs of production, improve better accessibility to markets, create businesses and employment opportunities which will have a multiplier effect on economic growth, by enhancing it.

“…langsung. Menurut temuan Chukwuemeka et al (2013) di Nigeria, sektor transportasi memiliki hubungan yang negatif dan tidak signifikan karena anggaran di sektor tersebut. Untuk itu perlu dipastikan bahwa dana yang bersumber dari belanja pemerintah memang untuk sektor transportasi, dan adanya pengawasan terhadap dana yang telah dialokasikan.…”

This research examines the effect of government expenditure on education, health, infrastructure, agriculture, and transportation on economic development in Indonesia between 1981 and 2020. This research uses yearly data (time series) taken from the Revenue and Expenditure Budget of the Indonesian Ministry of Finance. State Budget (APBN) and World Bank funds. Error Correction Model (ECM) is used to identify the long-term and short-term correlations between each variable in the data analysis approach. According to the findings of the study, there are no significant variables affecting economic growth over the short term; however, over the long term, government spending on the education sector has a positive and significant effect on economic growth, whereas government spending on the infrastructure sector has a negative and significant effect on economic growth. In the meantime, the factors that decide how much the government spends on sectors such as education, health, infrastructure, agriculture, and transportation have a major effect on the pace of long- and short-term economic growth.

The government’s aim to accomplish social and economic development is realized through the optimal use of infrastructure. In this context, an infrastructure index is developed to investigate the role of infrastructure quality in Pakistan's economic growth from 1975 to 2018 particularly. The ARDL bounds testing cointegration with structural breaks confirm the presence of a long-run relationship amid the variables; economic growth, labour force, physical capital, and quality of infrastructure. Long-run findings indicate a positive and significant relationship between infrastructure quality and economic growth in Pakistan. From a policy standpoint, this analysis recommends that improvements in the existing infrastructure stock and utilizing the available resources efficiently would be extremely beneficial for Pakistan’s economy.
