Testing the endogenous growth model: public expenditure, taxation, and growth over the long run

Abstract: Endogenous growth models, such as Barro~1990!, predict that government expenditure and taxation will have both temporary and permanent effects on growth. We test this prediction using panels of annual and period-averaged data for OECD countries during 1970-95, isolating long-run from short-run fiscal effects. Our results strongly support the endogenous growth model and suggest that long-run fiscal effects are not fully captured by period averaging and static panel methods. Unlike previous investigations, our e… Show more

“…Barro (1990) and Barro and Sala-i-Martin (1992) employ models -within a standard Ramsey framework -in which the growth prospects of a country are interrelated with the way fiscal policies are implemented. Within the same framework, Bleaney et al (2001) estimate the impact of public expenditures on economic growth, for a number of EU countries. Their results signify that only the 'productive' parts of public expenditures seem to matter for economic growth.…”

“…Because h t enters the utility function directly and not the production function it has been termed as an unproductive expenditure in the successive literature (e.g. Kneller et al 1999, Bleaney et al 2001, Angelopoulos et al 2007). In addition to providing consumption services, the government also funds productive expenditures, g t , that enter the production function alongside private capital (k t ):…”

“…This has led to the potentially confusing convention of referring to consumption, sales, and value-added taxes (i.e. indirect taxes) as non-distortionary taxation in the subsequent empirical literature -again see, for example, Bleaney et al (2001), Kneller et al (1999), Angelopoulos et al (2007). With endogenous labor supply, such consumption taxes are distortionary.…”

“…Obdobně Mofi di a Stone (1990) zdůraz-nili význam fi nancování vládních výdajů různými typy daní při zohlednění rozpoč-tové bilance. Kneller, Bleaney a Gemell (1999) a v navazující studii Bleaney, Gemell a Kneller (2001) využili tento přístup ke zkoumání dopadu různých opatření rozpoč-tové politiky na modely exogenního a endogenního ekonomického růstu. V obdobném duchu je také studie Gupta a spol.…”
