It applied regression techniques with domestic time series annual data sets for the period 1990 to 2021. Data and measurement issues are addressed. Summary statistics, partial correlations, and unit root test are carried out along with t, F, R- squared, adjusted R-squared and DW statistics to find out accurate coefficients of estimated regression equation. The results showed that government capital expenditures on transport sector has significant positive effect on real GDP of Nepal along with the control variables broad money supply, total trade and gross capital formation.
