Abstract

This paper tests the validity of the proposition that there is a causal relationship between government expenditure and government revenue for Greece over the period 1957-93. The empirical analysis employs tests of cointegration as pretests for Granger tests of causality. The empirical evidence suggests that there is a long-run relationship between government spending and government revenue and expenditures cause revenues. Copyright 1996 by Kluwer Academic Publishers
