Abstract

Javni rashodi su važan instrument fiskalne politike pomoću kojeg država ostvaruje važne socijalne, političke i ekonomske učinke te su kao takvi neophodni za funkcioniranje države i postizanje višeg životnog standarda za stanovništvo. Pod pojmom javnih rashoda se podrazumijevaju svi izdaci države izvršeni prilikom obavljanja svih državnih funkcija koje služe zadovoljenju društvenih potreba. Postoje razne vrste javnih rashoda i razne klasifikacije poput funkcijske, ekonomske, organizacijske, programske, lokacijske te klasifikacija prema izvorima financiranja koje su sve podjednako važne prilikom istraživanja javnih rashoda kako bi se dobio realan uvid u njihovo stanje. Ključni predmet analize politike javnih rashoda i fiskalne politike predstavlja državni proračun, a za utvrđivanje potpune i realne slike države proučava se proračun opće države, odnosno konsolidirani proračun sve tri razine proračuna koji se dobiva prebijanjem međusobnih transakcija između državnog proračuna, proračuna izvanproračunskih korisnika te proračuna jedinica lokalne i područne (regionalne) samouprave i uprave. Analizom javnih rashoda Hrvatske uočava se stalni trend njihovog rasta i velika socijalna uloga države. Cilj ovog rada je analizirati kako javni rashodi i njihove pojedine vrste utječu na gospodarski rast u Republici Hrvatskoj. Rezultati provedene jednostavne i višestruke regresijske analize ukazuju na pozitivan i značajan utjecaj javnih rashoda na gospodarski rast u Hrvatskoj, isto kao socijalne naknade, intermedijarna potrošnja i investicije, dok naknade zaposlenicima imaju pozitivan, ali beznačajan utjecaj na gospodarski rast što se razlikuje od rezultata dosadašnjih istraživanja na tu temu.

Abstract (english)

Public expenditures are an important instrument of fiscal policy through which the state achieves important social, political and economic effects and as such is necessary for the functioning of the state and achieving a higher standard of living for the population. The term public expenditures include all government expenditures incurred in performing all government functions that serve to meet social needs. There are various types of public expenditures and various classifications such as functional, economic, organizational, program, location and classification according to sources of funding, which are all equally important when researching public expenditures in order to get a realistic insight into their condition. The key subject of public expenditure policy and fiscal policy is the state budget, and to determine the complete and realistic picture of the state, the general government budget is studied as the consolidated budget of all three levels of budget obtained by offsetting mutual transactions between the state budget, local and regional self-governments and administrations. The analysis of Croatia's public expenditures shows a constant trend of their growth and a large social role of the state. The aim of this paper is to analyze how public expenditures and their individual types affect economic growth in the Republic of Croatia. The results of a simple and multiple regression analysis indicate a positive and significant impact of public expenditures on economic growth in Croatia, as well as social benefits, intermediate consumption and investment, while employee benefits have a positive but insignificant impact on economic growth, which differs from previous research on that topic.
