Abstract:

T his empirical analysis endeavors to trace out the causal nexus between core inflation and economic growth from the perspective of twenty worlds’ leading economy with the help of the nonlinear Granger causality approach by using time series data from 1981 to 2016. Based on nonlinear Granger causality results, it has been found that there is unidirectional casualty running from core inflation to economic growth in Belgium, Denmark, Franc, Greece, India, Norway, and Portugal as well as Sweden. In these countries, core inflation is causing economic growth. As per as Australia, Canada, Germany, Greece, Japan, New Zealand, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom is concerned the outcome of causality analysis documents that there is unidirectional causality running from economic growth towards the core inflation. Finally, the analysis also manifests that there is no causality running from core inflation towards the economic growth and vice-versa in Ireland, Israel, Netherlands, and Spain.

Public Expenditure and Economic Growth in Nigeria (A Granger Causality Approach) 1983-2012

This paper examines the impact of government expenditure on the Nigerian economy for the period 1983 - 2012. The government expenditure components used as the explanatory variables in the model are: expenditures on Health, Education, Defense, Agriculture and Transportation and Communication. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was used as a parameter for measuring economic growth. In order to esta...

Investigating the Relationship between Money Growth and Inflation in Turkey: A Nonlinear Causality Approach

Theories on the relationship between money and inflation had largely been shaped around the positive relationship and money causality for inflation before the Post-Keynesians. Since the 1980s, this idea emerged that there might be no correlation between money growth and inflation. In the case of existence, the causality is reversed, so money is endogenous somehow. However, practically there is ...

Nonlinear connectivity by Granger causality

The communication among neuronal populations, reflected by transient synchronous activity, is the mechanism underlying the information processing in the brain. Although it is widely assumed that the interactions among those populations (i.e. functional connectivity) are highly nonlinear, the amount of nonlinear information transmission and its functional roles are not clear. The state of the ar...

Economic Growth, Foreign Direct Investment and CO2 Emissions in China: A Panel Granger Causality Analysis

Using a sample of province-level panel data, this paper investigates the Granger causality associations among economic growth (GDP), foreign direct investment (FDI) and CO2 emissions in China. By applying the bootstrap Granger panel causality approach (Kónya, 2006), we consider both cross-sectional dependence and homogeneity of different regions in China. The empirical results support that the ...

Telecommunications and Economic Activity: An Analysis of Granger Causality

The pervasive role of telecommunications in contemporary commerce is well documented, and has dramatically increased the demand for services. Across the world, countries are seeking to improve telecommunications infrastructure and benefit from anticipated increases in economic activity, and a causal relation between the two is often tacitly assumed. This paper analyzes aggregate data at the nat...
