摘要
Based on a new panel data, we find a very significant and robust empirical relation:government debt is harmful to longrun economic growth.After controlling a few veriables emphasized by economic growth literature, the higher government debtGDP ratio is, the lower longrun economic growth rate is.This kind of negative effect of government debt is more obvious in developing countries,and may come from the fluctuation of government debtGDP ratio.We also find a few familiar results on economic growth empirical research:there is conditional convergence to some extent, total investmentGDP ratio and life expectancy is positive to economic growth,etc.
Based on a new panel data, we find a very significant and robust empirical relation:government debt is harmful to long-run economic growth. After controlling a few veriables emphasized by economic growth literature, the higher government debt-GDP ratio is, the lower long-run economic growth rate is. This kind of negative effect of government debt is more obvious in developing countries, and may come from the fluctuation of government debt-GDP ratio. We also find a few familiar results on economic growth empirical research: there is conditional convergence to some extent, total investment-GDP ratio and life expectancy is positive to economic growth, etc.
