இலங்கையில் தேசிய சேமிப்பு பொருளாதார வளர்ச்சி மீது ஏற்படுத்தும் தாக்கம்

Abstract

The objective of this study is to test the impact of national savings on economic growth in Sri Lanka using annual time series data during the period of 1957 to 2014. In order to attain this objective, this study employed the following analytical techniques: the Augmented DickeyFuller unit root test, Johansen Juselius Cointegration, and Granger Casualty approaches. The unit root test result indicates that the variables used in this study are stationary at their 1st difference, I(1). The Johansen Juselius cointegration test result shows that there is a positive long-run relationship between national savings and economic growth in Sri Lanka and Granger Casualty test finds that there is unidirectional causality running from national savings to economic growth in Sri Lanka.
