This study intends to explore the causal
relationship between inflation and economic growth in
Malaysia over the period of 1961-2019. Inflation is
crucial for economic growth of a country. The authors
try to identify the short-run and long-run relationship
between inflation and economic growth through Vector
Error Correction Model and Vector Auto-regression
Model, respectively. The results are like the previous
studies. There exists negative association between the
GDP growth and inflation in the short run but positive
correlation in the long run. The Granger Causality test
revealed there also exists bidirectional relationship
between these two variables. The results conclude that
inflation does not granger cause GDP growth. However,
it also reveals that GDP growth does not cause granger
to cause inflation as well. The results can be helpful for
the policy makers and researchers for future study.
