Abstract

The purpose of the present paper is to determine whether stock returns are leading indicator for future economic activity in Malaysia. In this study we employ the Granger non-causality test recently proposed by Toda and Yamamoto (1995) to test the causal relationships between the KLSE stock prices and six macroeconomic variables for the sample period 1981:l to 1994:4. Our results indicate that stock prices are independent with respect with macroeconomic variables, except with money supply
