The impact of pubic expenditure in developing economy, a comparative
study of Nigeria and Britain specifies a linear public expenditure
functions.
Public expenditure can be seen as the measures through
which allocate efficiency or Pareto Optimality can be attained, it comes
in the commanding heights of the economy and take all major decisions
for allocation of scarce economic resources efficiently and effectively.
The government through its activities of levying taxes,
undertaking expenditures on commodities, making direct money transfers
to individuals and /or firms as well as the establishment of regulatory
standards for the operation of her economy.
Therefore, given the influence of public expenditure on the
demand and supply patterns in the economy, public expenditures carries
the implications.
For stability, growth and development, hence the social welfare and distributive justice are directly implicated.
To determine the extent to which the repressor affects the
regress, data yeas collected for a eight year period f 1996 – 2003 from
secondary data sources. The ordinary least square regression analysis
was used to analysis the data collected the standard error test and the
t-test was used to treasure the size f the error in the estimates and to
test the reliability of the parameter estimates respectively. Also the
analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to test the overall significance f
the regression analysis model, which shared that the R2 statistically
significant.
The study at the end made some necessary recommendations
that should be adopted by government and its authorities for improvement
of public expenditure vis-a vis standard f living f the citizens.

INTRODUCTION
1.0 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Amongst scholars, economic growth have been referred to as the study
process by which the productive capacity of the economy is increased
overtime to being about increases in the output of goods about services
sand rising levels of national income.
In short, it mean growth in the output of goods and services (i.e
growth in GNP) However, the function of public expenditure and its
impact to economic development could be traced by throwing more lines on
the meaning of public expenditure.
According to an economics dictionary by J. L HANSON: Public
expenditure have bee stated and the amount of money spent by a state or a
supreme recognized region on its defense. Education and other social
services, interest on National debts, capital investments
etc. Therefore, public expenditures on economic development is
traditionally applied tot he package of policy problems that involves
the use of fax and expenditure measures. This economic development
measures have been seen as a conscious and deliberate effort by the
government to influence, direct and control the path of progress f the
country.
It involves the government’s directive and actives interference with
the market mechanisms either to supplement or to supplant it.
It is generally done by directly allocating or influencing the
allocations of the society’s resources (both human and maternal)
according to some predetermined objectives and thus, it involves the
government in conceiving, initiating, regulating and controlling
economic activities in the system,
However, the impact of public expenditure on economic development
have been to weighting the economic standard of a country ads to
determing its
