This paper mainly studies the relationship between financial development, inbound tourism development, and economic growth rate in Fujian Province, China. This study uses the data of real GDP, foreign exchange income from international tourism, and financial interrelations ratio from 1994 to 2019. In the analysis process, the Johansen cointegration test is first used to analyze whether the three have a long-term equilibrium relationship. Then the vector error correction model is established to test the restrictive relationship among the three. Next, the Granger causality test assesses whether the three have a causal relationship. Finally, the contribution rate of the three is analyzed by variance decomposition. The above methods show the following conclusions: first, the three have a long-term equilibrium relationship. Secondly, in the short term, local economic growth is constrained by inbound tourism and financial development. Thirdly, there is a causal relationship between economic growth and inbound tourism in Fujian, while there is a unidirectional causal relationship between financial development and economic growth, financial development, and inbound tourism. Fourthly, the contribution rate of inbound tourism to economic growth fluctuations in Fujian is higher than that of financial development.

The relationship between the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO) and the surface air temperature (SAT) in the Korean Peninsula is investigated for the period of 1979~2019. The QBO shows a statistically significant causal relationship with the Korean SAT in early spring when the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO)'s effect is relatively weak. In particular, when the QBO wind at 70 hPa is westerly, the Korean SAT becomes colder than normal in March. This relationship in March, which is statistically significant, is valid not only for March QBO but also for February QBO, indicating that the QBO is leading the Korean SAT. The Granger causality test indeed shows a causal relationship between February QBO and March Korean SAT. The QBO-Korean SAT relationship is more pronounced in the southeastern part of the Korean Peninsula. As the QBO-related circulation anomalies are evident in the North Pacific and the eastern Eurasia, they induce the horizontal temperature advection to the southeastern part of the Korean Peninsula. This result suggests that the QBO could be useful for improving seasonal prediction of the Korean SAT in March.

The study examines stock prices (LOGKSE) and exchange rate (LOGPK)-Pakistani Rupee vis-à-vis US Dollar- interactions in Pakistan. This study employs a multivariate VAR-GARCH model using monthly data from January 2012 to October 2020. The results of the Johansen cointegration test show that there is no relationship between Foreign Exchange Market and Stock Market in the long run. In the short-run, stock exchange returns are affected slightly negatively by the changes in the foreign exchange market, but the foreign exchange market does not seem to be affected by the ups and downs of the stock exchange. The VAR model and Granger Causality show that both markets are strongly influenced by their own lagged values rather than by the lagged values of one another and show weak or no correlation between the two markets. Volatility persistence is observed in both the stock and foreign exchange markets, implying that shocks and past period volatility are major drivers of future volatility in both markets. Thus greater uncertainties today will induce panic and consequently generate higher volatility in the future period. This phenomenon has been observed many times on Pakistan Stock Exchange especially. The results have important implications for local international investors in portfolio diversification decisions and risk hedging strategies.

Purpose: In the current era of rapid development of the information and communication technologies (ICT) sector, the formation of an effective regulatory approach is important. There are some methodological shortcomings and difficulties in the approach system of international organizations that assesses the level of application of ICT in various areas in terms of quantity and quality. The basic element of economic growth differs according to the economic conditions prevailing in the period and the country. While the agricultural sector plays an active role in economic growth or development in an underdeveloped country, in a developed country, capital-intensive and even technology-intensive production is the main element of economic growth. From this point of view, the contribution of information and communication technologies (ICT) to Azerbaijan's socio-economy for the period between 2010-2020 will be examined. Research design and methodology: The unit root test and Granger causality test were applied by taking the CDPPC per Capita, Employment, and Unemployment Rate from the social-o-economic data as the dependent variable, fixed and mobile phone usage and internet usage as the independent variables. The principal results: According to the results obtained; It has been determined that the use of ICT positively affects the socio-economic economic situation.

본 연구는 영국 파운드, 캐나다 달러, 호주달러, 원달러 및 브라질 레알화 통화선물시장과 현물시장 수익률사이의 선도-지연관계, 변동성의 비대칭적 인과관계 및 시장효율성을 비교분석하였다. 각 통화현 선물시장 수익률간의 선도 지연관계 분석을 위하여 VAR(vector auto regressive)모형에 기초를 둔 Granger 인과관계분석을 실시하였으며 변동성의 비대칭적인 정보전달메커니즘 분석은 시간변동MA(1)-GJR-GARCH(1, 1)-M모형을 도입하였다. 주요 실증분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, Granger 인과관계분석결과 각 통화선물 및 현물시장사이에는 피드백적인 인과관계가 존재하는 것으로 나타났다. 각 통화선물시장의 현물시장에 대한 가격발견기능이 통화현물시장의 선물시장에 대한 영향력보다 상대적으로 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, MA(1)-GJR-GARCH(1, 1)-M모형을 추정한 결과, 각국 통화 현 선물시장사이에는 피드백적인 조건부평균이전효과(conditional mean spillovers)가 강하게 존재하는 것으로 나타났으며 전반적으로 선물시장의 현물시장에 대한 영향력이 그 반대의 경우보다 상대적으로 강한 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 변동성의 비대칭적인 전이효과를 분석한 결과, 각국 모두 통화 선물시장에서 현물시장으로의 비대칭적인 변동성이전효과가 강하게 존재하고 있으며 통화현물시장에서 선물시장으로는 호주달러현물시장을 제외하고 나머지 시장에서는 정보의 비대칭적특성이 존재하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 각국 통화선물시장과 현물시장사이의 대칭적 비대칭적 정보이전효과로부터 통화 선물시장이 현물시장에 대한 가격발견기능이 지배적이며 각 통화 현 선물시장은 정보에 비효율적인 시장임을 추론해 볼 수 있다. 이는 주식시장을 연구한 Stoll and Whaley(1990), Abhyankar(1995), Brooks et al.(2001) 등의 연구와 일맥상통하는 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this study is to examine the causal relationship among oil consumption, oil-tanker accidents, and economic growth, and to derive policy implications from the results. Therefore, this paper attempts to analyze the short term, long term, and strong causality factors pertaining to the relationship between oil consumption, oil-tanker accidents, and economic growth in Korea using time-series techniques and annual data for the 1984-2016 period. Tests for unit roots, co-integration, and Granger-causality based on an error-correction model are presented. The results show that bidirectional causality exists between oil consumption and oil-tanker accidents, between economic growth and oil consumption, and between oil-tanker accidents and economic growth. The study shows that oil was used as a core energy source during the rapid economic growth of Korea in the past, and that this caused the number of oil-tanker accidents to rise as oil consumption increased.

This paper empirically examines the short-run and long-run causal relationship between stock market prices and exchange rates in Chinese stock markets using monthly data from January 2002 to December 2012 retrieved from the National Bureau of Statistics of the People's Republic of China. Unit root, cointegration tests, vector error correction estimates, block exogeneity Wald tests, impulse responses, variance decomposition techniques and structural break tests are employed. This study found 1) long-run causality from exchange rates to stock prices in Chinese stock markets and 2) short-run causality from Japanese yen and Korean won exchange rates to stock prices in the Shanghai Stock Exchange strongly prevails while in the Shenzhen Stock Exchange weakly prevails. The impact of the global financial crisis from 2007 to 2009 on Chinese stock markets was insignificant.

In this paper we： (1) analyze the relationship among public R＆D investment, private R＆D investment, and GDP by employing the Clangor causality test; (2) examine if there is any country-specific pattern in the relationship by testing the cases of Korea, the U.S. and Japan. We found some common results for the above countries as follows： (i) GDP causes Public R＆D, not vice versa; (ii) Private R＆D causes GDP; and (iii) Public R＆D does not cause Private R＆D. For the bivariate model of GDP and total R＆D, the results show the existence of one-way causality running from total R＆D to GDP f3r both U.S. and Japan. We also found bidirectional causal relationship between GDP and total R＆D for Korea, which could be interpreted as a typical pattern for newly industrialized countries.

Purpose - This study investigates the lead-lag relations between the prices of major commodities imported into Korea and corresponding shipping freight rates. This paper aims to provide implications for cross-market causal relations between related economic segments. Design/Methodology - For economic long-run equilibrium between commodity prices and freights, a Johansen (1988) cointegration test is employed first. Then, Granger (1987) causality tests are performed under the vector error correction model (VECM) framework. Findings - The results indicate that the direction of causality varies by raw materials, which is attributable to different economic mechanisms in the corresponding shipping transportation sectors. In addition, the significance of causality becomes blurred during the post-2008 period. Practical Implication - Corporate managers in commodity trading, steelmaking, power generation, and oil refinery sectors can take advantage of the findings in this study as identifying leading economic indicators can be helpful for decision making in both short- and long-term strategies. Originality/value - This study is the first attempt to analyze the inter-relations between commodity prices and corresponding freight rates focusing on raw material imports of Korea.

본고(本稿)는 둘 혹은 여러 변수(變數)가 서로 비선형적(非線型的) 인과관계(因果關係)의 특정한 구조를 가질 때 주어진 관측치(觀測値)로부터 인과관계(因果關係)에 관한 올바른 추론(推論)을 유도하기 위한 새로운 이론인 Baek-Brock의 방법(方法)을 소개하고 이것을 통화(通貨), 생산(生産) 및 물가(物價)의 세 변수(變數)에 적용하여 기존의 인과성(因果性) 검정(檢定)과 어떻게 다른 결과를 얻는지 살펴본다. Baek-Brock의 방법(方法)은 일반적으로 두 변수(變數) 사이의 인과관계(因果關係)를 검정(檢定)하는 데 사용될 수 있으나 변수간(變數間)에 내재하는 실제 인과관계(因果關係)가 선형(線型)인 경우 Granger 검정법(檢定法) 등 기존의 방법(方法)이 높은 검정력(檢定力)을 보이므로 여기서는 주로 비선형인과성(非線型因果性) 검정(檢定)에 초점을 맞춘다. 본(本) 검정법(檢定法)은 인과성(因果性) 여부를 조건부확률에 기초하여 정의한 후 개별확률을 상관적분(相關積分) (correlation integral)을 사용하여 추정(推定)토록 하였다. 이 방법(方法)은 변수간(變數間)의 인과관계(因果關係)가 비선형적(非線型的)일 때 유효하다는 장점을 지니나 인과성(因果性)이 없다는 귀무가설하(歸無假說下)에서 표본수에 따른 검정통계량(檢定統計量)의 점근분포(漸近分布), 그릇된 귀무가설(歸無假說)에 대한 최대의 기각력(棄却力)을 창출하는 척도모수(尺度母數)(scale parameter) 등에 관한 이론적 배경이 미흡하다는 단점이 있다. 본고(本稿)에서는 이를 Monte Carlo 시뮬레이션을 실시하여 보완하였다. 통화(通貨), 생산(生産) 및 물가간(物價間)에는 Granger 검정법(檢定法)을 실시했을 경우 통화(通貨)와 생산(生産)만이 서로 인과성(因果性)이 있을 뿐 물가(物價)와 다른 변수간(變數間)의 인과성(因果性) 증거는 희박하였다. 한편 Baek-Brock의 검정법(檢定法)은 이미 벡터자기회귀모형(自己回歸模型)(VAR)을 통해 밝혀진 선형관계(線型關係) 외에 물가(物價)가 생산(生産) 및 통화(通貨)에 미치는 비선형인과성(非線型因果性)에 관한 추가적 정보를 제공해 주고 있으며 구체적으로 그러한 인과관계(因果關係)가 몇 기(期) 후부터 나타나는지 밝혀 준다. 그러나 이를 이용한 구체적인 모형화(模型化)는 추후의 논문을 통해 밝히기로 한다.
