In the study, Wagner’ law is tested via ARDL to determine whether it is valid for Spain, South Korea and Mexico for period of 1960-2015. The reason for the selection of these countries is that their socioeconomic structures are very similar to each other as of their initial years, and that economic indicators in recent years have largely differentiated. According to the findings, Peacock-Wisemann model for South Korea and Mexico, Gupta model for South Korea, Goffman model for Mexico, Musgrave model for South Korea, Spain and Mexico and Mann model for South Korea, Spain and Mexico are valid. Finally, there are no results for Turkey that support the Wagner’s law.},author={Ömer Faruk TEKMANLI-- Gökhan ERKAL},year={2018},journal={The Journal of Social Sciences}}
