Article Abstract:

Endogenous growth models, such as the Barro model, were used to study and establish the relationship of government expenditure and taxation with a country's growth rate in 22 OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) countries from 1970-1995. Results showed that government budget constraints have considerable effect on the growth rate, distortionary tax systems decrease growth rate and productive government expenditure increases growth rate.
