dc.description.abstract | With rising public debt levels in developing and middle income countries and the debt crises that has strucked most of the advanced economies, there has been a lot of scholarly and policy debates about the factors that determines the public debt level of a country. This paper examines the impact of selected macroeconomic variables as well as a governance indicator (government effectiveness variable) in determining the public debt level of The Gambia. An Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) method was employed to establish the short-run and long-run impact of the selected variables on public debt. The study reveals that trade openness and gross fixed capital formation have an increasing impact on public debt in the long-run. GDP growth, official exchange rate, and the government effectiveness variables on the other hand have a decreasing effect on public debt levels in the long-run. However, none of the variables show a significant relationship with public debt of levels of The Gambia in the short-run. | - |
