“…Other studies that are not in line with these findings include Al-Shatti (2014) in Jordan who concluded that government spending in the short and long term has no significant effect on economic growth. In addition, the study of Rauf et al (2012) in Pakistan, a study by Ray and Ray (2012) in India and Ghosh (2012) which concluded that there is no causal relationship between economic growth and government spending in Pakistan and India.…”

This study aims to analyze and verify the relationship between government spending and economic growth. This relationship has been a hot topic for debate among economists, with plenty of research done and being done upon it. This particular study uses panel data from 34 provinces in Indonesia during the 2014-2018 period. During this time, Indonesia's government allocated significant amount of its annual budget towards infrastructure. The estimated econometric test result using the Granger Causality Test did not find support for the effect of economic growth on government spending. Conversely, government spending has a significant effect on economic growth. This study provides support for Keynesian economic system, where government spending is used as a policy instrument to encourage economic growth in a nation.

This research aims at examining the role of government capital expenditures in economic growth in Jordan during the time period . The study collects the required data from the Central Bank of Jordan, the Department of Statistics, and the Ministry of Finance database. The analyzes is based on estimating the output as a function of input and control variables and analyzing the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as a function of the total capital expenditures. The study found that first, the change in capital expenditures as a percentage of GDP has long-term equilibrium and has a short-term effect, but this result is unreliable due to model instability. Second, there is a short-term impact of net fixed capital formation and net tax on economic growth but there is no long-term equilibrium, and finally there is a short-term and long-term effect of government debt on economic growth. These findings can provide significant insights into many aspects of implementing policy in Jordan.

“…Based on this premise, this study is motivated to investigate the effect of government general spending on human development in Nigeria. Several domestic and foreign studies on government expenditure have been on economic growth (Chandran Govindaraju, Rao & Anwar, 2011;Al-Bataineh, 2012;Gangal & Gupta, 2013;Hasnul, 2015;Al-Shatti, 2014;Lahirushan & Gunsekara, 2015;Torki, 2016;Jelilov & Musa, 2016;Muguro, 2017) among others. Kairo, Mang, Okeke and Aondo (2017) did a similar study in Nigeria, but failed to classify government expenditure into development and nondevelopment in order to determine their specific effect on HDI.…”

The study assesses the impact of government general spending on human development in Nigeria from 2003 to 2017. The purpose is to determine the response of human development index (HDI) to recurrent and capital government expenditure. In order to achieve this objective, the multiple linear regression model linking the study variables was applied while Ordinary Lease Squares method was used to analyze the model. The results indicate that government’s capital expenditure and inflation have insignificant negative influence on HDI, corruption does not have any impact on HDI but government recurrent expenditure has strong and significant positive impact on HDI. The study concludes that resources on recurrent expenses should be reduced while more money should be invested in capital projects for human capital development in Nigeria.
