Cointegration, error correction and Granger causality: an application with Latin American stock markets

Abstract

This paper offers an empirical investigation of the presence of a long run relationship in stock prices in six Latin Emerging Markets. We find evidence of a long run relationship among all of these countries in a bivariate framework. Results indicate the presence of bidirectional rather than unidirectional causality suggesting the absence of weak exogeneity among their stock prices.
