Abstract

This study aims at assessing the effect of government spending in education on economic growth in Cameroon over the period 1980 2012 using a vector error correction model The estimated results show that these expenditures had a significant and positive impact on economic growth both in short and long run The estimated error correction model shows that an increase of 1 of the growth rate of private gross fixed capital formation and government education spending led to increases of 5 03 and 10 145 respectively in the long run on economic growth Education spending thus appears as one of the main driving force of the economic growth process in Cameroon
