Objectives
The main objective of the study is to find out the impact of fiscal deficit on economic growth
Secondary objectives are:
- To find out the trend in Fiscal deficit and Economic growth
- To find out the relationship between Fiscal deficit and Economic growth.
- To find out the mean difference between the levels of Economic growth across the time period
- To find out the mean difference between the levels of Fiscal deficits across the time period
H1: There is a significant impact of Fiscal deficit on the Economic growth
H2: There is significant relationship between Fiscal deficit and Economic growth
H3: There is a significant mean difference between the levels of economic growth across the time periods
H4: There is a significant mean difference between the levels of fiscal deficit across the time periods
Methodology
Data collection
Secondary data which are collected from the Reserve bank of India reports of India have been utilized in this study. Further, textbooks, journals, magazines in the economic perspective were utilized for this study.
Sample
This study was conducted in India perspective, especially on the fiscal deficit and economic growth. Data on the fiscal deficit and economic growth from the year 1970 to 2010 were collected for the study purpose.
Data analysis method
Various statistical methods have been employed to compare the data. Descriptive statistics used to test the sample characteristics. Time series analysis was also carried out to identify the trends over the last forty years. Inferential statistics involves in drawing conclusions about a population based only on sample data. It includes regression analysis, Correlation analysis and independent sample one-way ANOVAs (f-test). Regression analysis is...

...c growth is contributed by other factors significantly. A Durbin-Watson close to 2.0 is consistent with no serial correlation, while a number closer to 0 means there is, probably, serial correlation. In our study, DW has the value as 1.46 which is closer to 2.0. So that there is no serial correlation between the variables which have been used in this study. Hence the H2 is also

Independent sample one–way ANOVA test.
One- way ANOVA test can be used to find out the significant mean different in levels of Economic growth and Fiscal deficits among time periods in the Sri Lankan economic perspective. Due to that, we have categorized thetime periods in the four segments as period between 1970-1979; period between 1980-1989 ; period between 1990-1999 ; period between 2000-2010 .

The measure of growth is flawed, how countries see their growth is based on the consumption of their people. Many countries use the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) as an indicator for growth, as defined in It’s All Connected, “(GDP) is a calculation of the total monetary value of goods and services produced annually in a country” (Wheeler 11). The...
It is therefore necessary to look not just on the economy model but also on the way things are governed. Politics play an important role in the economic depression and it will also play an important role in the economic growth. Any long term growth will be dependent on the how the country is managed not just economically but also politically. It should be important to note that corruption in government is never good to the economy. In fact, history shows that corruption causes the economy to fall into crisis. Two things are needed to solve the problem of the economy, the right stimulation, as offered by the author, and the right policies and clean politics in Washington. With these, the country will be able to escape the depression that it is now in.
Collected data were subjected to analysis of variance using the SAS (9.1, SAS institute, 2004) statistical software package. Statistical assessments of differences between mean values were performed by the LSD test at P = 0.05.

Everyone has their own political leaning and that leaning comes from one’s opinion about the Government. Peoples’ opinions are formed by what the parties say they will and will not do, the amounts they want spend and what they want to save. In macroeconomic terms, what the government spends is known as fiscal policy. Fiscal policy is the use of taxation and government spending for the purposes of stimulating or slowing down growth in an economy. Fiscal policy can be used for expansionary reasons, which is aimed at growing the economy and increasing employment, or contractionary which is intended to slow the growth of an economy. Expansionary fiscal policy features increased government spending and decreases in the tax rates as where contractionary policy focuses on lowering government spending and increasing tax rates. It must be understood that fiscal policy is meant to help the economy, although some negative results may arise.
During the time of economic crisis starting around 2010 different rationalities have been taken to try and continue economic growth while maintaining a stable government system that is helping and not hurting. When examining government spending and how it affects the growth of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) there seems to be disagreements on if it was helping or damaging the prospective growth that could be made. By using the Multiplier Effect the government can estimate how to adjust their government spending and how it effects the spending of the consumer, investments and spending of country’s exports.

In order to assess the current state of the economy, the examination of important economic indicators or variables has always played a vital role in the understanding of the complex economic systems we live in. The analysis of these economic variables studied by many, not only has served as a tool to evaluate the current economic performance of a country, but also has allowed experts to envisage and continue the pavement of an economy's road. Currently, some economic variables have had favorable improvements indicating a general good outlook for the economy for the following months, requiring a further individual analysis and comparisons in order to foresee crisis or successes.
The economy of a nation is a major indication of its success. One aspect of a nation's economic success or failure is the system of government. Whether a nation is socialistic, communistic, ruled by absolute sovereignty, or based on capitalistic principles can be a key factor in a country's economic success or failure. Government is the foundation of an economy but it is not what determines its success. Issues that determine a nation’s economic success include growth strategies, improved or increased resources, investment and savings, government policies, trade, foreign direct investment, income distribution, labor allocation, innovations in technology, and several other economic issues. I feel that economic growth is the main indicator of economic success. Additionally, innovations in technology, improving human capital, and improving foreign direct investment (FDI) are three issues that can lead to economic growth.
Economic growth is one of the most important fields in economics. In current generation economic is developing well. Economic growth is really important to country and for the world as well. Economic are one of the identity for country because it shows a country development and attraction for other countries (F, Peter. 2014). For example well economic develop such as Singapore, Dubai, New York, and Japan. These countries are well develop and maintaining their economic growths. Economic growths are really important because higher average incomes enables consumers to enjoy more goods and services. Then, lower unemployment with higher output and positive economic growth firms tend to utilize more workers creating more employment. Enhanced public
