ABSTRACT
This study investigates the relative impact of money supply and government expenditure on economic growth in Nigeria. In order to achieve the objectives, we proposed and specified models with parameters, which were estimated and used to test the hypothesis on relative impact of money supply vis-Ă -vis government expenditure. The Beta Coefficients techniques were employed to analyze the data. The empirical result showed that the impact government expenditure are relatively more effective compared with money supply on economic activities. That government expenditure impact more significantly and stably on economic activities than money supply. During the economic/financial meltdown, it is of note that government expenditure also impact more significantly than money supply in stabilizing economic activity and aggregate output (GDP). The emphasis on fiscal action of the government has led to greater distortion in the Nigerian economy. The role of fiscal policy can be more effective for enhancing economic growth by eliminating corruption, leakages of resources and inappropriate use of resources. However, the combination and harmonization of both money supply and government expenditure are highly recommended.
