Alternative models to explain the evolution of Spanish public spending
Main Article Content
Abstract
To study the evolution of public spending in Spain during 1964-2016, this article empirically con-
trasts different alternative models, with variables from both the supply and demands sides, The
usual methodology of unit roots and cointegration in time series is used to contrast models, using
as a basis autoregressive distributed delay models for the long term and error correction models
for the short term. Of the three models that were taken in account, the one that best explains the
behavior of the Spanish public sector is the public finance model to which the explanatory bureau-
cracy variable has been added.
