Öz

Recent years has seen a market rise in the debate among academic and policy circles regarding the relationship stock markets and economic growth. In this study, the linkages between market capitalization and economic growth is analyzed using annual data of 8 emerging countries for the period 1991 to 2012. The main objectives of this study are to determine the reaction of economic growth in the face of a shock in market capitalization rate and to examine whether stock market development has a positive or negative effect on national economies. Using Panel Vector Autoregressive models, we find positive and statistically significant responses to a market capitalization rate shock
