SUBSTITUTABILITY BETWEEN GOVERNMENT AND PRIVATE CONSUMPTION IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA
The question of whether private and public consumption are complements or substitutes has been an issue of concern and hence, attracted the attention of researchers and policy think tanks. This study therefore investigates this important phenomenon within the context of sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) to inform the design of fiscal policy measures. Using panel data spanning the period 1981–2016 for 21 sub-Saharan African countries, the results indicate that, government and private consumption are substitutes. This indicates that government spending crowds out private consumption in the sub region. Vital policy implications have been provided for consideration based on the findings.

The GEJ also welcomes scholarly contributions from officials with government agencies, international agencies, and non-governmental organizations. One over-arching theme that unites IT&FA members and gives focus to this journal is the complex globalization process, involving flows of goods and services, money, people, and information.
