"Tujuan dari penyusunan tesis ini adalah untuk menguji peranan pengeluaran pemcrintah terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi di Indonesia sejak periode 1972 sampai I997. Pada masa itu, Indonesia dan beberapa negara di kawasan Asia Tenggara dikenal sebagai Negara dengan pencapaian pertumbuhan ekonomi yang cukup menakjubkan. Paper ini menggunakan kerangka pemikiran bahwa ekonomi terdiri dari dua sektor, yaitu sektor pemerintah dan sektor swasta, dimana sektor pemerintah mampu menghasilkan eksternalitas bagi sektor swasta yang pada akhirnya akan meningkatkan pertumbuhan ekonomi secara keseluruhan. Dengan memanfaatkan data tahunan Indonesia, penulis menemukan bahwa investasi swasta memiliki pengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi di Indonesia, sebaliknya investasi pemerintah tidak menunjukkan tanda yang signifikan. Sektor swasta tampaknya muncul sebagai pendorong bagi pertumbuhan ekonomi sesuai pandangan paham ekonomi pasar bebas.

This paper try to examines the role of government expenditure on economic growth in Indonesia from the period of 1972 - 1997. In that period, indonesia and several countries in the region are known as the extraordinary countries in growth achievement. This paper use framework that economy consist of two sector, government and private, where government sector yield externality to private sector to improve economic growth. By using time series data of Indonesia, I found that private investment has positive and significant influence on economic growth. Meanwhile, government investment does not show significant sign. Government size has negative effect and government sector has lower productivity compare to private sector. Private sector comes as an engine for economic growth which contimi the pro market point ofview. The same outcome was also found in panel data estimation using 4 ASEAN countries (Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Philippines). Government growth also yields positive externality effect on private sector and private sector as the main source of economic growth."
