This research aims to identify the causality between economic growth and government expenditure. Using Toda-Yamamoto Causality Test, we found a unidirectional causality between economic growth and government expenditure, in which government expenditure affects economic growth, confirming Wagner’s Law. In terms of expenditure in its economic function, the relationship that supports Keynesian approach between economic growth and government expenditure is evident. However, there is no causality between other functions of government expenditure and economic growth. Copyright © 2022 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.
