This paper investigates the existence of Granger causality and cointegrated relationships between tourism related Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and tourism development in developing countries using panel VECM techniques from 1995 to 2008. The results confirm the existence of a co-integrated relationship between variables in the long run. In addition, there is a bilateral long-run causality be...

This paper examines co-integration and the causal relationship between Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and the economic output or Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the both short and long run of Bangladesh, Pakistan and India over the period of 1972-2008. Three econometric models, viz. Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test, Engle-Granger two-step co-integration test, Vector error correction mechanis...

Establishing the relationship between stock prices and macroeconomic variables is very important for formulating current economic stabilisation policies. This paper investigates the causal relationship between four macroeconomic variables and Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) stock prices using cointegration and Granger causality test. The results suggest that cointegration exists between stock prices...

This Paper examines the causality and long-run relationships between economic growth and Tourism development in developing countries using P-VAR approach during 1995-2009. The findings reveal that there is a bilateral causality and positive long-run relationship between economic growth and Tourism development. In the other words, the tourism-led growth hypothesis is confirmed, as well as, outpu...

This paper examines the nexus between financial development and energy consumption in South Africa. To determine long run short relationship Africa, uses an Auto Regressive Distributed Lag bounds test (ARDL) Granger causality to establish type of correlation 1980 2018. ARDL testing method offers concrete long-run estimates t-statistics as it is flexible whether adopted variables are I(0) or I(1...

this study attempts to investigate the effect of oil returns and external debt on the government expenditure in syria over the period 1970-2010. the johansen cointegration test showed that oil returns and external debt have a positive and significant long run relationship with government expenditure. the granger causality test indicates unidirectional short-run causality relationships running f...

Introduction: The causal dynamics between environment, health expenditures and economic growth has recently started to be studied in the economics literature for both developing and developed countries. Methods: This study examines the causal relationship between CO2 emissions, health expenditures and economic growth using dynamic simultaneous-equations models for Iran over the period 1972-2...
