چکیده
Purpose: Since independence, the Government of Kenya has pursued many objectives, one being economic growth. Over previous few years, government expenditure been developing faster than GDP Infrastructure, components public spending, also experienced tremendous growth in spending and development, which not directly reflected rate. Following such situation, it calls for analyzing impact that infrastructure on with a focal point three sectors beneath sector spends closely on; transport, energy fuel, Information Communication Technology (ICT). The study's overall objective is to find out effects sampled then draw policy implications from findings. specific objectives were; investigate effect transport Kenya, examine & fuel ICT Kenya. Further, Bounds F-test cointegration as well Autoregressive Distributed Lag Model (ARDL) were used realize objectives.
 Methodology: data was collected covered 1990 – 2020 infrastructure: ICT. Several tests time series carried secondary obtained, after employed analysing data.
 Findings: outcome showed energy, affected either short or long run. Based ECM regression findings, long-run revealed promotes On contrast, findings exhibited negative Public positively impacted term, while GDP. Other control variables inclusive trade openness FDI positive Inflation, particularly, run, addition within run.
 Unique Contribution Theory, Practice Policy: empirical this study validates Keynesian theory stipulates contributes theory, an exogenous factor capable applied instrument promoting

One key lesson emerging from this research is that there is no single fiscal multiplier that sums up the economic impact of fiscal policy.

متن کاملAn Autoregressive Distributed Lag Modelling Approach to Cointegration Analysis¤
This paper examines the use of autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) models for the analysis of long-run relations when the underlying variables are I(1). It shows that after appropriate augmentation of the order of the ARDL model, the OLS estimators of the short-run parameters are p T -consistent with the asymptotically singular covariance matrix, and the ARDL-based estimators of the long-run ...
