Abstract

This study investigates, through panel univariate GARCH models for 14 European countries the causality between inflation and GDP and finds that inflation causes GDP at the 5% level of significance and GDP cause inflation at the 10% significance level. Thus, there is a bidirectional effect between the above two cases which is significant at the 10% level. Copyright International Atlantic Economic Society 2012
