碩士 === 國立東華大學 === 國際經濟研究所 === 94 === The relationship of the financial development and the growth of an economy has broadly discussed, and the empirical results are quite different. This study uses the method recommended by Toda and Yamamoto (1995) and vector error correction models (VECM) or vector autoregressive models (VAR) to examine the Granger causality between financial development and economic growth in Hong Kong and Taiwan. We focus on the role of financial intermediation in economic growth, therefore we apply several different financial variables to test whether they Granger cause output and investment.We find that real GDP Granger causes financial development when we use the currency created by financial intermediation and its total assets as financial variables.
