This paper examined several factors that affect growth of public expenditure on education sector using reputable theories of public policy analysis, economics, and public finance. These theories were used to test and examine these factors mainly for the purposes of providing public policy recommendations. Standard multiple linear regression analysis method was used to analyze factors affecting growth of public expenditure on education using the four formulated models and equations representing; general education sector, primary, secondary and university education. The results in general showed that majority of the factors tested were positively significant and caused an increase of public expenditure on education. The paper found noticeably increase in public expenditure on education sector in Kenya since 1980 from the results, but still the actual amount of money spend on education sector is less than what is required. Therefore, the government should not only increase financial allocation but should also find reliable sources of funding education sector. In addition, the government should carry out reviews in all schools syllabuses in order to meet current changing jobs demands and maintaining quality education.

The Impact

The impact of public expenditure on the productive sectors (agriculture, industry, and service) in The Gambia, is analyzed within the framework of a Dynamic Computable General Equilibrium (DCGE) model. The model is applied and calibrated to assess the impact of a 10% increase in public expenditure on economic growth and welfare over five years. The results indicate an increase in GDP and value-added, mainly as a result of growth in the service sector.Also, an expansion of the service sector leads to the migration of jobs to the rural areas, which will consequently enhance rural labour income. A significant finding is that general public expenditure on agriculture may not get the desired result for poverty reduction, specifically in rural areas. As a result, public agricultural spending should be targeted across various agriculture sub-sectors, such as, irrigation, among others. The Government of The Gambia (GoTG) should also prioritize investment in the service sector, given that it has immense potentials in enhancing the livelihoods of Gambians in rural areas.

This study reports on research aimed at measuring the drivers behind public expenditure with specific reference to education expenditure in Africa. The empirical estimations are carried out using a public choice model on a panel of 15 selected African countries over the period 1995-2004. The results show that government expenditure on education is resilient to shocks and the education sector is not seriously affected by allocative changes that favour corruption. Expenditure on education in the countries included in the study generally complies with the guidelines set by the IMF in terms of their fiscal adjustment programs.

The Impact

This study examines the impact of public expenditure on economic growth in Russia. Fiscal multipliers for various items of government spending are calculated by means of our macroeconomic model of the Russian economy. Resources for fiscal stimulus and optimization are analyzed. In this study we assess Russia’s fiscal sustainability in conditions of various levels of oil prices. We conclude that fiscal stimulus is ineffective in Russia, while fiscal sustainability in conditions of a sharp drop in oil prices is relatively low.
