The relationship between government revenue growth and economic growth is investigated for Ethiopia during the period 1974/75-2013/14. Theoretically and empirically it has been shown that revenue especially generated from taxes affect the allocation of resources and often distort economic growth. While, analyzing the long run and short run relationship between government revenue growth and economic growth the study applied Johansen’s cointegration test, VAR, granger causality test, and VECM. Government revenue growth in general and with its component though affect economic growth found to have no causal relationship with economic growth in the long run. This implies there is fiscal independence between tax revenue and economic growth. Furthermore, in the short run the finding showed that there is independence r...

This study attempts to investigate empirically impactof migrant remittances on economic growth and poverty reduction in Ethiopia using time series data over the period 1980-2011. Employing modern time series econometric techniques such as unit root tests, bound test co-integration approach and error correction techniques within an ARDL framework yields most robust estimates. The empirical results reveal that remittances have a significant impact on Economic growth by increasing real private investment and fixed capital accumulation. It also found that remittance have a strong and statistically significant long run impact on poverty reduction, through the direct increase in the incomes of the poor, thus smoothening household consumption and easing capital constraints. The study suggested policies which aimed at sustained increases in remittances through the formal channel where significant amounts can be recorded and improve the impacts particularly to the poor. Finally, it is strongly recommended that, the government could develop appropriate training or education programs to assist returning migrants or remittance receipts in making effective investment decision.

district. The study used 150 households, using a household consumption expenditure approach by
employing the FGT (Foster-Greer and Thorbecke, 1984) poverty index to determine the extent of rural
poverty. The study’s result shows that the total head count index, poverty gag, and poverty severity
indexes are 0.438, 0.25, and 0.1452 respectively. Moreover, based on the Binary Logistic regression
model output of sample households, there is a significant difference in the poverty level among the
poor and non-poor sampled households in terms of factors such as the size of cultivated land,
remittances, dependency ratio, participation on off-farm activities, livestock ownership and use of
improved seeds were significant up to10% probability level. Whereas, the age, education, and sex of
sampled household heads access to extension service and credit service were not statistically
significant. The finding reveals that most of the non-poor households are engaged in more than one
livelihood options. On the other hand, income diversification can contribute a certain percentage to
help poor households escape extern poverty and Non-agriculture sector should be developed to
diversify the income sources of poor households
