Abstract: This article examines the sources of economic growth in Peru from 2007 to 2018, integrating the analysis of private consumption and public spending, then analysing the macroeconomic adjustment and structural change that has characterised the Peruvian economy in the stage of economic openness. The study's main goal was to identify the factors contributing to home-level poverty in Peru during a specific period. The data sources matched the institute's survey, which obtained and managed bad variables. Semi-studies and a quantitative methodology made the descriptive research informative and statistically significant. The macroeconomic theory presents debt's pros and cons on output. A theory that fiscal expansion raises debt but boosts consumer spending and job growth supports beneficial outcomes. How positive the multiplier effect depends on its strength? It also examines endogenous economic growth models with public institutions and those for the Peruvian economy; then, the model is estimated using contemporary structural econometrics. The research's findings indicate that public investment, particularly in infrastructure and the rule of law, has not had a favourable impact on Peru's economic growth in recent years.

Keywords: economic growth; private consumption; public spending; Ramsey test; macroeconomic theory; rule of law; labour productivity; human capital; Peru.
