FAKTOR-FAKTOR YANG MEMPENGARUHI PERTUMBUHAN EKONOMI PADA NEGARA G-20 (Pembuktian Grease The Wheels Hypothesis)

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to test the "grease the wheels" hypothesis. This study investigated the relationship between the impact of corruption, the quality of government, taxation, investment and unemployment on growth in a sample of the G-20 countries over the period 2001-2010. Based on the results of data analysis using EViews 6.0. Regression results indicate that there is a significant positive effect of corruption, taxation and investment on growth and there is a significant negative effect on the growth of unemployment. While the quality of the government is not significant in affecting growth. In testing the "grease the wheels" hypothesis, the quality of government is needed in the process. Because the variables in the regression testing found no significant effect, it can be concluded that the "grease the wheels" hypothesis can not be proved at the G-20.
