Financial Development and Economic Growth in Greece: an Empirical Investigation with Granger Causality Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper examines empirically the causal relationship among the degree of openness of the economy, financial development and economic growth by using a multivariate autoregressive VAR model in Greece for the examined period 1960:Ι – 2000:IV. The results of cointegration analysis suggest that there is one cointegrated vector among GDP, financial development and the degree of openness of the economy. Granger causality tests based on error correction models show that there is a causal relationship between financial development and economic growth, but also between the degree of openness of the economy and economic growth. keywords: financial development, economic growth, openness, Granger causality
