The results of the cointegration analysis confirm the existence of a long-run relationship between variables. The results of the causal analyses show a bidirectional causality between government revenues and expenditures in both the long-run and short-run supporting the fiscal synchronization hypothesis. Real GDP and inflation individually Granger-causes government revenue, in both the long-run and short-run, stressing their importance on generating revenue. Based on these findings, an isolated fiscal measure to raise tax-revenues or cut expenditure will exacerbate fiscal imbalance. On the policy front, the Free State government should adhere to a planned budget process, devise innovative revenue-generating strategies to circumvent the burden of producing inflation revenue, as well as utilize its autonomy on fiscal instruments to maintain a sustainable fiscal policy path, and stimulate economic growth.","PeriodicalId":362173,"journal":{"name":"Theoretical and Practical Research in the Economic Fields","volume":"118 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133915494","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By the second welfare theorem, such an optimum depends on a specific wealth distribution out of innumerable ones at given prices, whereby the state cannot refrain from redistributing.

Building on the literature, this research also presents two simplified proofs to the two welfare theorems and a mathematical formalization of the resolution to the compromise between equity and efficiency, for the additional constraint binds the social welfare function in equity and it originates the ultimate possibility frontier in efficiency.","PeriodicalId":362173,"journal":{"name":"Theoretical and Practical Research in the Economic Fields","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125138417","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The modeling of supply and demand is then explained, the effect on prices being attributed to the spreading-out of energy from sellers to buyers. An expression for this effect is then derived, in terms of the corresponding concentrating of money. Various implications of the model are then expounded, concerning the nature of money, price and its relationship to value, and intelligence, and some supporting evidence given. Two secondary implications, concerning economics and political science, are then discussed to conclude.","PeriodicalId":362173,"journal":{"name":"Theoretical and Practical Research in the Economic Fields","volume":"147 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115380712","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In other to have a robust model, other parameters of fiscal operations were included as explanatory variables namely, government revenue, government expenditure and government total debt stock. The study argued that even though there are no shortages of theoretical justifications on the impact of fiscal deficit on the national domestic output, empirical probe of the issue is scarcely pursued most especially for the agricultural sector. The model was estimated using the Engle-Granger testing approach to cointegration for the long-run analysis while a restricted error correction model was relied upon to explore the contemporaneous dynamics. The data obtained from Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletins covered the period 1986-2018. The study found that agricultural output has a long-run relationship with fiscal policy variables. In the long run, the study finds that government revenue and expenditure exert significant positive impact on agriculture output contrarily to the negative impact exhibited by government fiscal deficit and total debt stock. However, in the short run, agriculture output responded negatively to changes in fiscal deficit by 0.03%, government expenditure 0.03% and government total debt stock 0.09% contrarily to its 0.16% response to changes in government revenue. The paper recommended that government may consider reduction in deficit spending so as to minimize the country’s current level of borrowings. Also, government may consider broadening its revenue bases by intensifying its taxation policy. Finally, no effort should be spared by the government in blocking all looped holes in the country’s expenditure operations such as rent seeking and inflation of contracts.","PeriodicalId":362173,"journal":{"name":"Theoretical and Practical Research in the Economic Fields","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122687930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The increase in capital increases output and productivity, which in turn increases consumption and welfare.
