We used Secondary data and it was obtained from various sources like the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS), Bangladesh Bank (BB) and Asian Development Bank (ADB), and World Development Indicators of the World Bank. Econometrics tools like ADF (Augmented Dickey-Fuller) unit root test, ECM (Error Correction Model) and Engel-Granger Cointegration test to estimate the short and long run association in the model are used to investigate such relationship. We use E-views 10 tools to calculate the above test. From the result of the study, we can say that a long-term relationship among the govt. expenditure, inflation and rate of economic growth.
