Previous studies generally find mixed empirical evidence on the relationship between government spending and economic growth. This study re-examine the relationship between government expenditure and economic growth in South Africa for the period of 1990 to 2015 using the Vector Error Correction Model and Granger Causality techniques. The time series data included in the model were gross domestic Product (GDP), government expenditure, national savings, government debt and consumer price index or inflation. Results obtained from the analysis showed a negative long-run relationship between government expenditure and economic growth in South Africa. Furthermore, the estimate of the speed of adjustment coefficient found in this study has revealed that 49 per cent of the variation in GDP from its equilibrium level is corrected within of a year. Furthermore, the study discovered that the causality relationship run from economic growth to government expenditure. This implied that the Wagner’s law is applicable to South Africa since government expenditure is an effect rather than a cause of economic growth. The results presented in this study are similar to those in the literature and are also sustained by preceding studies.

This study examines the nexus between financial development and energy consumption/use in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) using a panel vector error correction model (VECM), cointegration, and Granger causality tests over the period ranging from 1975 to 2017. The annual panel time-series data generated from the World Bank database were tested for unit-roots processing using both the Levin–Lin–Chu and Im–Pesaran–Shin before proceeding to Johanson cointegration technique, the results of which motivated the choice of adopting the panel VECM rather than panel vector autoregression in the methodology. From the estimation result especially on the variables of interest, there exists a positive and statistically significant relationship between financial development and energy consumption in the long run, but not statistically significant in the short run. Further findings from the panel Granger causality test shows a unidirectional causality running from financial development to energy consumption, gross domestic product per capita, population growth to urbanization with no feedback. Among a series of policy recommendations, the monetary authorities in Sub-Saharan African countries should ensure optimal utilization of financial instruments and technologies available in the system to enhance more robust financial development to boost efficiency in energy consumption in the region in line with the sustainable growth theory.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji hubungan keseimbangan jangka panjang antara variabel makroekonomi (yang diproksi dengan variabel indeks harga konsumen, jumlah uang beredar, kurs rupiah terhadap dollar, dan Indeks S&P 500) dengan indeks harga saham gabungan (IHSG). Data bulanan variabel makroekonomi dan IHSG selama periode Januari 2005 – Desember 2013 digunakan untuk pengujian hubungan keseimbangan jangka panjang. Data penelitian dikumpulkan dengan metode dokumentasi yang terdiri dari variabel indeks harga konsumen, jumlah uang beredar, kurs rupiah terhadap dollar, Indeks S&P 500, dan IHSG. Setelah data dikumpulkan, data selanjutnya akan dianalisis dengan menggunakan analisis regresi berganda. Analisis pengujian residual (dari model regresi berganda) dengan pendekatan Granger Residual Test digunakan untuk memastikan tidak terjadi spurious regression (regresi palsu). Selanjutnya, analisis data dengan pengujian Johannsen Cointegration Test digunakan untuk menguji keberadaan hubungan keseimbangan jangka panjang antara variabel makroekonomi dan IHSG. Tahap akhir analisis data dilakukan dengan pengujian vector error correction model (VECM) dan Granger Causality Test yang bertujuan untuk menguji kemungkinan adanya hubungan biderectional (dua arah) antara variabel makroekonomi dan IHSG. Hasil pengujian menggunakan analisis regresi berganda menunjukkan bahwa variabel kurs rupiah terhadap dollar dan Indeks S&P 500 berpengaruh signifikan terhadap pergerakan indeks harga saham gabungan, sedangkan variabel indeks harga konsumen dan jumlah uang beredar tidak berpengaruh signifikan. Hasil pengujian dengan menggunakan Granger Residual Test menunjukkan bahwa tidak terdapat spurious regression. Sementara itu, hasil pengujian dengan menggunakan Johannsen Cointegration Test menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan keseimbangan jangka panjang antara variabel makroekonomi dan IHSG. Terkait dengan kemungkinan adanya hubungan biderectional antara variabel makroekonomi dan IHSG, hasil pengujian dengan menggunakan Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) dan Granger Causality Test menunjukkan bahwa hubungan antara variabel makroekonomi dan IHSG adalah hubungan satu arah. Kata Kunci: spurious regression, granger residual test, granger causality test, vector error correction model.

The relationship between investment, national income and money supply are interrelated. Increased investment can increase national income. Likewise, the increase in national income can increase investment. Besides investment increase can also increase the money supply. As investment increases, the national income will increase, which means an increase in people's income. The increase in people's income will lead to increased public consumption that would cause an increase in the money supply. If there is excess supply of money, Bank Indonesia will take the policy to reduce interest rates. These conditions will encourage investors to invest which in turn will increase the output and national income. This study aims to prove the causal relationship between the investment, national income and the amount of money circulating in Indonesia period 2007.1-2015.4. To prove the existence of a causal relationship between the study variables then performed Granger causality test method VECM (Vector Error Correction Model). Granger causality analysis results show that, first, there is a causal relationship between national income and investment. Secondly, there is a causal relationship between the national income and the money supply. Third, there is no causal relationship between investment and money supply. Hubungan antara investasi, pendapatan nasional dan jumlah uang beredar saling berkaitan. Peningkatan investasi dapat meningkatkan pendapatan nasional. Begitu pula sebaliknya, peningkatan pendapatan nasional dapat meningkatkan investasi. Selain itu peningkatan investasi juga dapat meningkatkan jumlah uang beredar. Ketika investasi meningkat maka pendapatan nasional akan meningkat yang berarti terjadi peningkatan pendapatan masyarakat. Kenaikan pendapatan masyarakat ini akan menyebabkan konsumsi masyarakat meningkat sehingga akan menyebabkan kenaikan jumlah uang beredar. Apabila terjadi kelebihan jumlah uang beredar, Bank Indonesia akan mengambil kebijakan penurunan tingkat suku bunga. Kondisi ini akan mendorong minat investor untuk berinvestasi yang pada akhirnya akan meningkatkan output dan pendapatan nasional. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membuktikan adanya hubungan kausalitas antara investasi, pendapatan nasional dan jumlah uang beredar di Indonesia periode 2007.1-2015.4. Untuk membuktikan ada tidaknya hubungan kausalitas antarvariabel penelitian maka dilakukan uji kausalitas Granger dengan metode VECM (Vector Error Correction Model). Hasil analisis kausalitas Granger menunjukkan bahwa, pertama, terdapat hubungan kausalitas antara pendapatan nasional dan investasi. Kedua, terdapat hubungan kausalitas antara pendapatan nasional dan jumlah uang beredar. Ketiga, tidak terdapat hubungan kausalitas antara investasi dan jumlah uang beredar.

Development of human resources is very important in promoting economic growth, because humans are not only objects in development but also play a role as a subject. Stunting is a major problem that inhibits the quality of human resources, to reduce the amount of human development that lives by stunting is to increase the consumption of protein contained in fish. This study aimed to determine the pattern of fish consumption in Central Aceh and the variables that affect fish consumption. The analytical model used is the granger causality analysis, through the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) analysis model. The results of this study indicate that the pattern of fish consumption in Central Aceh was not only influenced by income, but also influenced by the amount of chicken meat and egg consumption Increased income does not have a positive effect on increasing fish consumption but affects the amount of chicken meat and egg consumption. To increase the amount of fish consumption in Central Aceh, efforts to increase the amount of fish supply through local fish farming activities and the socialization of fish eating.
