Interaction between stock market development and economic growth: Evidence from developing countries

The purpose of this study is to investigate the interaction between stock market development and economic growth in the case of seven developing countries between the 1989-2011 period. To this end we employed panel cointegration and panel causality tests to two different stock market development indicators representing stock markets depth and efficiency. Results indicate no long-run cointegration relationship between the variables in question. On the other hand, we have found causality between the variables.
