Abstract
The purpose of this article is to study the effect of public investment on economic growth. To achieve this objective, we used the method of Hansen (1996). The results of the econometric tests indicate an optimal threshold of public investment of 22% of the GDP, threshold above which the public investment has a positive and significant effect on the economic growth of the Democratic Republic of Congo over the period 1981-2015 . Indeed, any public investment below this threshold has no effect on economic growth. But any public investment beyond this threshold stimulates economic growth in the DRC.
