Measuring the optimal government size that contribute to economic growth of the Muslim countries

The issue of a correct ‘government size’ for economic prosperity of a nation, particularly Muslim nation, is highly linked with the issue of optimal ‘role of state’. The present study attempts to utilise more efficient econometric methods on a sample of Muslim countries over a specific period of tim...

The present study attempts to utilise more efficient econometric methods on a sample of Muslim countries over a specific period of time in order to investigate relationship between government size and economic growth.
