Abstract
Examines the revenue and expenditure behaviour of the 19 state
governments in Nigeria separately for the civilian and military regimes
of 1980‐83 and 1984‐87, respectively, with a view to comparing the two.
Annual figures are employed in the regression analysis through pooling
of time series and cross‐section data and all the endogenous items of
state government budgetary accounts, expressed in per capita terms, are
analysed. Suggests that: (1) per capita federal allocations, population,
population density, per capita income, and literacy items all influence
the per capita endogenous budgetary items; (2) the impacts of these
factors, except population density, on the budgetary items materially
differ over the civilian and military regimes; and (3) autonomous
components of these endogenous budgetary items also differ over the two
regimes.
