Veiksnių, turinčių įtakos Lietuvos valstybės išlaidoms ir jų struktūrai, tyrimas

Abstract

This article presents research about factors that affect Lithuanian public expenditure and its structure during 2000–2012. The study identifies and evaluates the relationships between the chosen variables. The research was carried out using comparative, regression and correlation analysis. It was noticed that the number of research in this field is low, especially in Lithuania. Most of existing research is of information nature or there is a separate micro or macro-level research. Selected factors are grouped into three groups according to their strength of impact in this study. Structural changes in government spending are also identified.
