Zusammenfassung: 
The issue of whether public debt is useful or harmful towards economic growth is one of the most prevailing debates in the literature with no consensus existing on the subject matter. The study employs the ARDL model to examine the long-run and short-run effects of public debt on economic growth for South African data spanning a period between 2002:q1 to 2016:q4. Our sensitivity analysis consists of re-estimating our empirical regressions using two sub-samples dataset corresponding to the post-crisis period (i.e. 2007:q3 to 2016:q4). All estimated regressions unanimously find negative debt-growth relationship, with the negative relationship strengthening in the post-crisis period. Overall, our empirical results have some useful ramifications towards fiscal policymakers.
