Abstract
Stagnating productivity, declining investment and high unemployment continues to
present India with consistent macroeconomic challenges. Training in gross capital
formation (GCF) aims to increase work and economic development (GDP). The
research discusses, using recent data from time series data of 2010 to 2019 in a vector
auto-regressive (VAR) system, the causality effects of the variables. The findings of
the VAR model demonstrate that the gross capital formation has negative relation with
GDP but study also found that as GDP increases, GCF also increase. On the other
hand, the model shows that unemployment (UNEMP) has no short-term impact on
economic development (GDP). The findings for the other example indicate an
important and healthy association between GCF and unemployment, and the third
model indicates that GDP and unemployment have a reverse relationship. Therefore,
the report suggests the implementation of an expansionary fiscal policy by the fiscal
authorities, which would promote economic development, consumption and jobs.
