The study employed the Johansen-Juselius cointegration and Granger causality test. The results revealed that there is a long-run relationship between government size and trade openness. The Granger causality test revealed that there is a unidirectional causality from trade openness to government size. Therefore, the study does find support for a compensation hypothesis in South Africa.http://dj.univ-danubius.ro/index.php/AUDOE/article/view/209/419government size; trade openness; economic growth; granger causality
