| Summary: | This study used the application of Granger causality test on unemployment and the financial markets' performance based on three financial indicators--91-day treasury bill rates, stock market return, and foreign portfolio investment. Findings showed that unemployment rates Granger causes 91-dy treasury bill rates and vice versa. On the other hand, stock market return Granger causes unemployment but not the other way around, while unemployment and foreign portfolio investment did not show a Granger causality result. These tests were done using quarterly Philippine data covering the period of 1991-2005. |
