Decomposition of the effect of government size on growth

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: Empirical results through a fixed effects regression model show that government size has a negative effect on growth mainly through hampering capital accumulation. When a sample is divided into OECD and non-OECD countries, the negative effect of government size on capital accumulation persists for non-OECD countries but not for OECD countries.
