| Abstract. The main objective of this paper is to examine statistically the causal relationship between government expenditure and gross domestic product in Iraq over the period 1975-2010. The study applies recent developments in time-series analysis to test statistical characteristics of both variables. The stationary and co integration tests indicate that government expenditure and GDP are first-difference stationary and co integrated. The Granger causality statistical results provide some evidence of a unidirectional causation running from gross domestic product to government expenditure in Iraq over the period of (1975-2010) . | ||
