Endogenous Growth, Taxes and Government Spending: Theory and Evidence <link rid="fn1">*</link>
This paper provides a theoretical and empirical investigation of the simultaneous effects of taxes and government spending on long-run economic growth in an endogenous growth framework. A two-sector model is considered: one sector produces physical output and the other produces human capital. Government expenditure is divided into several categories, and several types of taxes are included. The property tax is especially interesting because it is a major source of revenue for local government. The theoretical model is estimated using annual panel data from North Carolina counties. This study finds that state-level fiscal policies affect economic growth but county-level fiscal policies do not. Copyright © 2007 The Author; Journal compilation © 2007 Blackwell Publishing Ltd.
