Methodology
Data collection

...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 .

D) even though nominal GNP per capita is a far superior measure of economic growth.
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.

This paper will discuss the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), meaning the total market value of the country’s output (Case, 2017). I will explain the Expenditure approach and the four components used to calculate the GDP. I will also go over what is not included in the calculation and how inflation and unemployment relate to the growth of the GDP. In addition we will look at how the GDP reflects the economic welfare of our society and finally changes I would make and how they reflect a Christian world view.

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.
Government spending is a highly debated topic as to how much money should be spent and how it should be spent, but the fact remains government spending is rising each year and will become unsustainable in the future without major changes. Government spending is currently around 40% of GDP as compared to 7% at the start of the twentieth century (Chantrill, NP). Government spending has had ebbs and flows that can be traced since the start of the twentieth century, which include two world wars and a great depression. However, from the 1980’s through the early 2000’s government spending was lower to mid 30% range of GDP (Chantrill, NP). Increase in spending has been seen since the stock market crash of 2008, to the current levels of around 40% of GDP (Chantrill, NP). Various reasons are behind the major increases of government spending, but the “...
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.
In the following report we have first tried to clear the concept of the multiplier then carried on with explaining various theoretical aspect of tax multiplier, government spending multiplier and planned investment multiplier. Then we have tried to compare the change in expenditure and change in GDP in Indian economy by providing data which was extracted through a secondary source.
In order for any country to survive in comparison to another developed country they must be able to grow and sustain a healthy and flourishing economy. This paper is designed to give a detailed insight of economic growth and the sectors that influence economic growth. Economic growth in a country is essential to the reduction of poverty, without such reduction; poverty would continue to increase therefore economic growth is inevitable. Through economic growth, it is also an aid in the reduction of the unemployment rate and it also helps to reduce the budget deficit of the government. Economic growth can also encourage better living standards for all it is citizens because with economic growth there are improvements in the public sectors, educational and healthcare facilities. Through economic growth social spending can also be increased without an increase of taxes.
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.
