This study aims to analyze the effect of internet use and bank lending on Aceh's economic growth. The data used are secondary in the form of panel data of 15 city districts in Aceh during the period 2010-2017. The analysis model used is Johanson Co-integration, Panel Vector Autoregressive (PVAR) and Granger Causality Test. The study found that there is no long-term relationship between internet use, bank lending, and economic growth. Bank credit has a positive and significant effect on economic growth. The use of the internet has a positive and significant impact on bank lending but does not affect economic growth. Furthermore, economic growth and bank lending have a positive and significant effect on internet usage. Granger causality test results indicate that there is a one-way causality from bank credit to economic growth and internet use.Keywords: Economic Growth, Internet Use, Bank Credit, and Panel Vector Autoregressive

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to Analyze of the Relationship between Business Cycles and Bank Credit Extension: Evidence from South Africa. The study sought establish the direction of causality between economic growth and bank credit growth in South AfricaMethodology: The econometric methodology is used to augment results of the survey study. Granger causality test technique is applied to the variables of interest to test for direction of causation between variables. The study uses quarterly data for the period of 1980: Q1 to 2013: Q4. Business cycles are determined and measured by Gross Domestic Product at market prices while bank-granted credit is proxied by credit extension to the private sector.Results: Results revealed that, that there is a stable long-run relationship between macro-economic business cycles and real credit growth in South Africa. The results show that economic growth significantly causes and stimulates bank credit. The Granger causality test provides evidence of unidirectional causal relationship with direction from economic growth to credit extension for South Africa. The study results indicate that the case for demand-following hypothesis is stronger than supply-leading hypothesis in South Africa. Economic growth spurs credit market development in South Africa.Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: It proposes practical policy prescriptions to address challenges currently facing South Africa. The other major contribution of this study is that it shall open new avenues for further research on finding causality of the relationship between various proxies of economic growth and financial development adopting the VAR framework

The aim of this study is to analyze the relationship between Inflation, Income Inequality and Economic Growth in Indonesia. The type of this research is associative and analysisdescriptive. The data used in this reseach is secondary of time series from 1986 to 2016 obtained from Word Bank. Analysis model using the Vector Autoregression (VAR). Theanalysis initially used the Vector Autoregression (VAR), because the stationer variabel on first diferent range, then this study continued byVector Error CorrectionModel (VECM) and Granger Causality Test. The result of this study show (1) There is nocausality between Inflation affects to Income Inequality, (2) There is no causality between Inflation affects to Economic Growth, (3) There is causality in the direction in which Income Inequality affects to Economic Growth. In addition, because of the prevalence of income in Indonesia, this will increase economic growth in Indonesia. Keywords:Inflation, Income Inequality, Economic Growth

PurposeThe paper examined the relationship between financial development and economic growth for the period 1996 to 2018 in Eswatini.Design/methodology/approachThe Autoregressive Distributed Lag bounds test (ARDL) was employed to determine the long-run and short-run dynamics of the link between the variables of interest. The Granger causality test was also performed to establish the direction of causality between financial development and economic growth.FindingsThe ARDL results revealed that there is a long-run relationship between financial development and economic growth. The Granger causality test revealed bidirectional causality between money supply and economic growth, and unidirectional causality running from economic growth to financial development. The results highlight that economic growth exerts a positive and significant influence on financial development, validating the demand following hypothesis in Eswatini.Practical implicationsPolicymakers should formulate policies that aims to engineer more economic growth. The policies should strike a balance between deploying funds necessary to stimulate investment and enhancing productivity in order to enliven economic growth in Eswatini.Originality/valueThe study investigates the finance-growth linkage using time series analysis. It determines the long-run and short-run dynamics of this relationship and examines the Granger causality outcomes.

The Malaysian housing market and associated housing finance system have expanded significantly as a result of rapid urbanisation since the late 1980s. The key aspect of this paper is to analyse the inter-relationship between the housing market and housing finance system in Malaysia. The paper employs Vector Autoregressive approach and Granger Causality test to empirically investigate this inter-relationship. In Malaysia, no housing studies has actually looked into or used this approach to identify the inter-relationship between these two elements. The key findings show that there is a strong inter-relationship between the housing market and housing finance system. The direction of causality shows that there is a bi-directional relationship between the housing market and housing finance system. These inter-relationships provide evidence that sound performance of the sub-markets within the housing finance system is a determinant prerequisite of the robustness of the housing finance system, if a healthy performance of the housing market is to be achieved.

In this study aims to (1) know the development of economic growth and know the development of coal exports (2) find out the causality of coal exports with the economic growth of Jambi Province. The data used in this study are secondary data sourced from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) of Jambi Province. To answer these objectives, this study uses a type of quantitative descriptive research with an analysis model for the first and second problems using simple regression analysis and granger causality test. The results of the study show that (1) the average development of economic growth in Jambi Province in 2004-2018 was 6.15 percent; (2) the average development of coal exports is 149.64 percent, and (3) partially coal exports do not have a causal relationship to the economic growth of Jambi Province  Keywords: Economic growth, Coal exports
