Abstract

ABSTRACT This research project aims to investigate the impact of fiscal policy on the human development index (HDI) in a developing country from 1986 to 2022. The study adopts a quantitative research approach, using a panel regression analysis to examine the relationship between fiscal policy variables (including government expenditure, taxation, and public debt) and the HDI. The data for the study will be sourced from secondary data and will cover a period of 36 years. The results of the analysis will provide empirical evidence on the impact of fiscal policy on human development. The study is significant because it can inform policy formulation and implementation to improve human development outcomes in developing countries. The findings of the research will be disseminated through academic publications and presentations to policy makers. Overall, the research project aims to contribute to the existing literature on the relationship between fiscal policy and human development in developing countries.
