Abstract

An endogenous-growth model separating productive and welfare outlays is embedded in a spatial panel for 30 EU countries (1995–2021). Productive spending yields positive domestic and cross-country growth effects; welfare expenditure shows strategic interaction, leading to under-investment in growth-enhancing programmes.
