| dc.description.abstract | The rationale of government expenditure is for greater social welfare and poverty alleviation via reduction in income inequality. Higher government spending is assumed to yield in a lower inequality. Kuznets Inverted U Curve Theory and existing literature suggest that this does not apply in most developing countries due to time-invariant factors present in the economy. Using regional data from 2000-2009, OLS regressions show that government spending and income inequality in the Philippines are inversely related; however, when controlling for other factors constant over time, government spending per region showed to be insignificant. | |
