This study aims to examine the impact the financial performance of regional government on capital expenditure allocation of Central Java Province. To meet such aim, we carried out a census techniques by taking all populations as a sample. The results suggest that there is one determinant of capital expenditure allocation, namely the degree of fiscal decentralization. This factor can be a solution to the problems of this study, namely the sub optimal allocation of capital expenditure. The locally-generated revenue contributes greatly to the total amount of revenue that can be generated by the region, reflect the greater ability of the region to implement decentralization activities that will eventually impact the allocation of capital expenditure. These findings provide a better understanding for government empirical evidence about the degree of decentralization, financial effectiveness, financial efficiency, and financial independence of the allocation of capital expenditure.

The paper investigated the relationship that existed between Capital Expenditure Budget Size (CEBS) and Power Infrastructural Development (PID) in Nigeria. The study adopted a cross sectional survey research design where primary data were collected through a structured questionnaire at a point in time and analyzed using Analysis of Variance and Regression. The results of the analysis showed that there was no significant relationship between CEBS and PID in Nigeria (p>0.05) indicating an acceptance of null hypothesis that there is no significant relationship between CEBS and PID. Also, the correlation coefficient (R) results of .025 showed positive but weak correlation between the variables and R-squared of the regression of -.001 as the fraction of the variation in the dependent variable PID as predicted by independent inference CEBS means -.1%. The study concluded that power infrastructural development in Nigeria was not commensurate with size of capital expenditure budget. This was attributed to poor implementation policy, inadequate budget execution, corruption and weak accountability in Nigerian public sector.Â

This paper examines the impact of public capital expenditure on inflation rate in Nigeria. The data for the study were sourced from various issues of the Central Bank of Nigeria's statistical bulletin. The data was subjected to unit root test using Augmented Dickey fuller (ADF) approach to ascertain the time series properties. Descriptive statistics was used to assess the socioeconomic characteristics of the variables. Due to the mixed order of integration witnessed in the unit root, ARDL- Autoregressive Distributed Lag approach was used for cointegration and regression analysis. The result found that Public capital expenditure is negatively and statistically significant (tcal = -2.903) in influencing Inflation Rate in Nigeria. This outcome is highly directional in the sense that prudent and productive spending will always subdue inflation in any economy; therefore, this study recommend that government should increase its investment in production sectors and encourage skilful and willing citizens to participate, since this would reduce the expenses being incurred on business as a result low currency value and raise the profitability of firms.

The paper aims to contribute to the debate on the regional dimension of sectoral (i.e. non-regional) policies and to empirically demonstrate the huge discrepancy between both the volume and the regional pattern of sectoral public capital expenditure policies on the one hand, and official regional policy on the other. The analyses were based on a unique database of public investment in the Czech Republic covering the years 1995–2005. Their results show significant conflicts in policy objectives and thus represent a clear argument in favour of pursuing territorial impact assessment (TIA) of sectoral policies.

According to the researchers, the aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of government spending on poverty rates in Nigeria. Several issues of the Central Bank of Nigeria's statistics bulletin were used in the research, which yielded a large amount of data. The data was submitted to a unit root test, which was performed using the Augmented Dickey fuller (ADF) method, in order to determine its time series characteristics. The variables' socioeconomic characteristics were obtained via the use of descriptive statistics. Because of the varying order of integration seen in the unit root, cointegration and regression analysis were carried out utilizing the ARDL- Autoregressive Distributed Lag method, which is an acronym for Autoregressive Distributed Lag. The results of the study revealed that the crucial t-value of 2.185498 is more than the t-statistic value of 2.185498 by a factor of two (2.0). Additionally, the result of 0.0377 is less than the cutoff value of 0.05. According to the findings of the research, capital expenditure has a significant impact on the poverty rate. According to the study, more capital investment in the following areas is recommended: education, electricity generation, economic services, and health. It also recommends that resources be effectively managed.
