Abstract:
The paper investigates the effect of stock market development on sector-wide GDP using a sample from Sub-Saharan Africa consisting of Botswana, Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa for the period 1992-2014. The overall results based on the Dynamic OLS estimator provide evidence of both stock market size and liquidity in precipitating economic performance. In particular, from a sectoral perspective, the study finds that the largest effect of each of the stock market indicators, apart from the number of listed companies, happens to be in the manufacturing sector followed by the service and mining sectors. We also document a significant effect of the interaction terms involving investment productivity on the one hand and capital account liberalization on the other with stock market development. This is indicative of the important role that these channels play in determining the influence of capital markets on sector-wide GDP growth. Intuitively, policy makers need to give prior consideration to capital formation as well as capital account liberalization if stock market development is to significantly influence sectorwide GDP growth. Our findings are robust to the use of alternative Fully Modified OLS, and the Canonical Cointegration Regression estimators.
