We test six empirical versions of Wagner''s law for the period 1992 to 2007. Data undoubtedly confirm five of six versions of Wagner''s law; therefore, we conclude that Wagner''s law also holds for Slovenia. The analysis also shows that the new political orientation in Slovenia could or would not significantly change the trends in public financesTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Mariboru, Ekonomsko-poslovna fakulteta
