Impact of Public Investments on Agricultural Growth: The ARDL Model Approach in Cameroon

Abstract

This paper analyses the impact of public investments on agricultural growth in Cameroon. The main objective is to examine the contribution of public investments on agricultural growth in Cameroon. The methodology used to achieve this objective is the ARDL model of Pesaran (2001). The data used are from the World Bank's World Development Indicators (WDI) and the United Nations Agriculture Fund's FAOSTAT from 1988 to 2018. Our results show that public investments are significant and positive in the long run on agricultural growth.
