Abstract

This study has attempted to find out relationships between BSE SENSEX and four SAARC Indices, namely, KSE 100, DSE 20, CSE Milanka and NEPSE indices both in the long-run and short-run, by using suitable statistical methods and Monthly indices data from April, 2007 to March, 2012. ADF and PP tests results showed that all variables have contained a unit root and are integrated of order one. Johansen and Juselius’s cointegration test has pointed out at least one cointegration vector and long-run relationships between BSE SENSEX with some other markets. The Granger causality test has also found few short-run unilateral and bilateral causal relationships between BSE SENSEX with the SAARC indices.
