Effects of Public Spending on Economic Growth in Mozambique

The central idea of this work is to analyse the relationship between Public Spending and Economic Growth in Mozambique between 2001 and 2013, using econometric tests. Although there are various types of spending, the focus was on spending on education, defence and national security, which was chosen because education is the basis of society and because of the levels of illiteracy that the country still has, and spending on defence and national security because of the high value it is usually given in relation to other key sectors of the national economy.
