“…Moreover this paper employs different set of macroeconomic variables as compared with Hussain and Mahmood (2001) to find the causal relationship between macroeconomic activity and stock prices. The current paper provides interpretations of multiple cointegrating relationships in a system of equations (unlike the single cointegrating vector models of Baillie and Bollerslev (1989), Hafer and Jansen (1991), Diebold, Gardeazabel, and Yilmaz (1994), Engsted and Tanggaard (1994), Harris, McInish, and Schoesmith (1995), Mukherjee and Naka (1995), Chinn and Frankel (1995), Lo, Fund, and Morse (1995), Cushman and Lee (1996), and Dutton and Strauss (1997), Nishat andSaghir (1991), andHussain andMahmood (2001)). Also, we demonstrate the effects of macro-economic factors on the Pakistani stock market by constructing the impulse responses as well as variance decompositions.…”
