dc.description.abstract ABSTRACT: This study examines the linkage among financial development, trade openness and Economic Growth in Greece, within the vector autoregressive framework. Under this study, the Johansen cointegration test is employed to check if there is long run equilibrium among the selected economic variables, taking time-series data for Greece over the period 1960 to 2009. Subsequently, an error correction equation was estimated to show the correcting mechanism for short run relationship to make long run equilibrium. Also, granger causality test was used to analyse the causality between trade, financial development and economic growth. Based on the empirical findings, we identify that there is long run integration among domestic credit, private credit, trade and economic output. The vector error correction formulation also shows there is significant interaction among the variables under the restricted model. Result from VECM reveals that the disequilibrium between the short run and long run relationship clears by 20 percent every year, with trade having positive elastic impact on the economy of Greece. Granger Causality test indicates that the long run relationship existing between real output and trade openness is caused by the changing economic output of Greece, whereas financial development and economic growth show feedback causality. The causality test also shows the nexus between trade and financial development in Greece is a unidirectional flow from trade to financial sector. Keywords: Cointegration, economic growth, financial development, granger causality, Greece. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ÖZ: Bu çalışma Yunanistan‟da finansal büyüme, dış ticaret, ve ekonomik büyüme arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmaktadır; bu vesile ile Johansen yöntemi çerçevesinde eş bütünleme, hata düzeltme modelleri, ve Granger nedensellik testleri 1960-2009 dönemini kapsayan veri seti için uygulanmıştır. Sonuçlar, yurtiçi krediler, özel sektör kredileri, dış ticaret, ve reel gelir arasında bir eş bütünleme (uzun dönemli denge ilişkisi) olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Hata düzeltme modellerine göre, reel gelirin bağımlı değişken olduğu durumda, reel gelirin kısa ve uzun dönem denge değerleri arasındaki fark, finansal büyüme ve dış ticaretten dolayı her dönem (yıl) 20% oranında kapanmaktadır. Finansal büyüme ile dış ticaretin reel gelir üzerindeki etkisi pozitif ve istatistiki olarak anlamlı bulunmuştur. Son olarak, Granger nedensellik testi sonuçlarına göre, reel gelirden dış ticarete doğru bir nedensellik, finansal büyüme ile reel gelir arasında ise çift yönlü bir nedensellik tespit edilmiştir. Son olarak, dış ticaretten finansal büyümeye doğru bir nedensellik olduğu, Yunanistan örneğinde tespit edilmiştir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Eş bütünleme, ekonomik büyüme, finansal büyüme, Granger nedensellik, Yunanistan. en_US
