Government Expenditure and Economic Growth: A Cross-Country Study
Abstract
This paper examines the relationship between the share of government consumption expenditure in GDP and the rate of growth of real per capita GDP. The work of the U.N. International Comparison Project has recently made available new estimates for over 100 countries of both per capita GDP and the share of government consumption. These new estimates are based on direct price comparisons rather than exchange rate conversions.' As a result, the statistics for different countries are more comparable and cross-country studies will be more reliable.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
