For the mentioned analysis data were used for the period 2006-2017. Both government expenditures and broad money supply have a positive and significant impact on economic growth. The impact of trade openness is negative and significant, says the study. The study concludes that the impact on growth is greater than the impact of monetary policy. The authors conclude that the decomposition variance shock in the GDP, in the long run, was not affected much by other variables relative to the short run. Furthermore, as per the Causality test results through the VAR analysis, growth has a double directional causality relationship with broad money growth and government expenditures.
