    <description descriptionType="Abstract">&lt;p&gt;The study empirically investigates the relative effectiveness of fiscal and&lt;br&gt;
monetary policies on economic growth in Ethiopia. With the objective of finding&lt;br&gt;
out the relative strength of monetary and fiscal policies on economic growth, the&lt;br&gt;
study used an unrestricted vector autoregressions (VARs) framework, based on&lt;br&gt;
the St. Louis equation, to compute variance decompositions (VDCs) and impulse&lt;br&gt;
response functions (IRFs). Neither government expenditure nor money supply&lt;br&gt;
(M2) was found to be statistically significant in the co-integrating equations&lt;br&gt;
estimated suggesting that the policy variables are neutral in the long run. The&lt;br&gt;
results derived from the VDCs and IRFs imply that monetary policy alone has a&lt;br&gt;
significantly positive impact on GDP growth in Ethiopia. However, the impact of&lt;br&gt;
fiscal policy on GDP growth remains broadly insignificant. The outcome of this&lt;br&gt;
study, thus, supports the views of the proponents of the St. Louis Model that&lt;br&gt;
monetary policy is relatively more effective than fiscal policy in stimulating&lt;br&gt;
economic activity.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
