Abstract

The aim of this  paper is to assess the role of government expenditure and government economic policies on nonoil economic rate of growth during 1959-2003.
The result indicate that nonoil economic rate of growth depends negatively and significantly on the rate of growth of the ratio of labor and depends positively and significantly to the ratio of total investment,  government investment and the rate of growth of the ratio of government expenditure, while the rate of growth of the ratio of money supply, the rate of growth of the ratio of export and import to nonoil GDP have not been influential and significant. In other word results show that these policy variables have not a significant effect on nonoil economic rate of growth. While finance policy has significant impact on nonoil GDP rate of growth, monetary policy does not.
In addition, we discussed various shocks and their immediate effects on different variables through application of impulse response and variance decomposition and tried to show the effect of changes on variables and on nonoil economic rate of growth accordingly.
