This empirical study examines the determinant of economic growth among Asia Pacific countries. While many other studies focused on specific economies with particular determinants identified from previous studies, this study expands the boundaries of countries to examine different factors that are expected to affect the economic growth in Asia Pacific countries. Estimation results of this study are based on the analysis of a panel data for the period 1994–2011. The impact of total population, industry share of GNI, interest rate, gross fixed capital formation, and tax rate are statistically examined to be strongly significant for the whole sample. In the case of government expenditure and trade openness, they are examined to be significant to some degree. Finally, though human capital is expected to be the main driver of economic growth, the result from correlation analysis revealed that there is a high correlation between expenditure on education and health. To show the impact of human capital on economic growth in Asia Pacific countries, estimation with years of schooling may enhance the study instead of using expenditure on education and health.

Therefore, Bahrain have implemented substantial economic diversification in the economic structure including manufacturing, refining, tourism, trade and finance. With the recognition of the importance of governments expenditure restructuring, Bahrain government introduced number of initiatives such as streamlining government expenditure, increasing revenues, and redirecting government subsidies towards eligible citizens. Understanding the relationship between revenues, government spending and economic growth is an essential perception in evaluating the efficiency of government’s strategy in managing its resources and the impact on the standard of living in any country. This chapter examines the relationship between total government expenditure as well as sectoral government spending (specifically education and health sectors), oil revenues and the economic growth of Bahrain using time series data over the period 1989–2015. To achieve this aim, the vector error correction model (VECM) is employed. In order to ensure the sustainability of resources and maintain economic growth, Bahrain should continue managing its expenditure, by cutting down expenses on certain sectors through privatization, and increasing spending on health and education sectors.

This study aims at examining the role of coalition parties on local government expenditure. The coalition parties are comprised of several parties that support the regional head in the local government. Specifically, this study focuses on two important aspects of local government expenditure: education and health expenditure. The research question of the study is “Does the coalition parties have a significant effect on the local government expenditure?”. The independent variable of the study is coalition parties that support elected regional heads. The dependent variable is local government expenditure, which consists of education and health expenditures. The sample of the study was the local government in the Republic of Indonesia from the 2016–2018 period. There are 632 observations as the sample of the study. The results revealed that coalition parties have a negative effect on education and health expenditure. The higher percentage of coalition parties has decreased the local government expenditure on both education and health expenditures. The result of the study shows that coalition parties have a significant effect on the local government expenditure. This study confirms Lewis and Hendrawan’s (2019) argument that coalition parties have used their discretion to influence the regional heads’ decisions on the local government expenditure
