Abstract

Several empirical studies analysed the relation between public expenditures and economic growth but the unanimity is not made on the real nature of the relation that exist between its two variables. Our study re-examine agreement specifying the nature of relation that may exist between public expenditures and the economic growth in 20 developing countries. Results coming from our valuations by the GMM method in dynamic panel highlight a non-linear relation on one hand between total public expenditures and economic growth on another hand between public investment and the growth. Our study also specify, margin in which the different variables get a positive and significant impact on the growth in developing countries
