An Econometric Analysis Of The Relationship Between Public Expenditure And National Income In Malaysia, Yin Wai Tung
An Econometric Analysis Of The Relationship Between Public Expenditure And National Income In Malaysia, Yin Wai Tung
Student Works (2000-2009)
The purpose of this study is to analyse public expenditure growth in Malaysia for the period of 1970-2000. This paper investigates the existence of a long-run relationship between national income and various categories of public expenditure as proposed by Wagner's Law. In Wagner's framework, public expenditure can be treated as an endogenous factor that suggests that public expenditure grows as a result of growth in national income. Causality is expected to run from national income to public expenditure. This contradicts the famous Keynesian doctrine that treats public expenditure as an exogenous factor. As opposed to Wagner's Law, it implies that …

Secondly, we used the co-integrating techniques to examine the long-run relationship of the exchange rate of ringgit Malaysia against United States dollar vis-a-vis other Asian currencies, namely Japanese yen and Singapore dollar against United States dollar.

These reforms have changed the types of monetary instruments and targets used and consequently changed the mechanism of monetary transmission. Moreover, in the light of financial liberalization, the relationship between income and money has become increasingly unstable. All this posed a major challenge in the formulation and implementation of monetary policy because the basic framework within which monetary policy operates has changed. This research attempts to investigate the role of financial variables (monetary aggregates, credit aggregates …
