LONG-RUN AND SHORT-RUN CAUSALITY BETWEEN STOCK PRICE INDICES AND MACROECONOMIC VARIABLES: EVIDENCE OF PANEL VECM ANALYSIS FROM BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA, CROATIA, NORTH MACEDONIA AND SERBIA by Goran Mojanoski

“…The results of PVECM between the values of the selected stock indices and independent variables such as industrial production index 2015=100, average monthly gross wages, shows existence of conditionality or causal relationship on the long-run, when independent variable Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) according to the COICOP classification 2015=100 is exluded from the model. By applying PVECM, it can be concluded that there is a long run causality running from independent variable to dependent variable, meaning that between the values of the selected stock indices and industrial production and average gross wages there is speed of adjustment towards long run equilibrium. …”
