Abstract

This article studies the sustainability of public finance in Nigeria by analyzing the relationship between the budget deficit and economic growth over a period 1986-2014. We used unit root and cointegration test to apply the conditions of the present value of budget constraint. This methodology is generally employed in the empirical interpretation of fiscal sustainability process. To conduct this study we use two variables (GDP and budget deficit) and in somehow it indicates that public finance is not sustainable in Nigeria.
