Other variables like private investment, official development assistance, broad money supply and inflation are found to be statistically not significant in the long run model.The long-run impact of real public investment on private investment is found to be negative and statistically significant and the long-run impact of economic growth on private investment is found to be positive but statistically insignificant.Money supply is found to have long run impact on private investment significantly. The long-run impact of official development assistance on private investment is found to be positive and statistically significant.
