The Impact of Interest Rate, Exchange Rate and European Business Climate on Economic Growth in Romania: An ARDL Approach with Structural Breaks

Abstract: The role of the interest and exchange rates in sustaining economic growth has been a highly researched subject. Therefore, this study examines the influence of the monetary policy interest rate, the real exchange rate and the business climate in the Euro area on the economic growth in Romania. For this purpose, we have applied a pre-test for structural breaks to identify the existence of structural breaks, followed by the traditional unit root tests and the unit root tests with structural breaks to verify the … Show more

“…Regarding the third control variable which is interest rate, the results show a significant negative effect on the economic growth of Egypt, which is supported by (Di Giovanni and Shambaugh, 2008;Guseh and Oritsejafor, 2007). Hatmanu et al (2020) reached the same conclusion and explained this inverse relationship by stating that the lower the lending rate, the higher the incentives of taking loan with lower cost which will increase investment and thus reflected in higher economic growth. This illustration could be supported by (Akinwale, 2018) as well.…”

“…To measure the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on stock markets, we applied the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) cointegration method, developed through the contributions made by Pesaran and Shin [25] and Pesaran, Shin, and Smith [26]. The use of this method is adequate for studies with a high number of variables as the ARDL cointegration method has the advantage of verifying the existence of long-run relationships between variables that have different orders of integration, while the results of the analysis are robust for an incorrect specification of the order of integration [27,28]. However, the ARDL methodology imposes that no variable should be integrated of second order or I(2) [7].…”

“…Since this includes two currencies, the equilibrium point is determined by the supply and demand sides of the two currencies respectfully. According to Hatmanu et al, (2020), exchange rate affects economic growth, one of which is from the view point of international trade. Exchange rate serves as one of the economic indicators in managing international trade because it reflects the benefits of the physical and commodity sectors and creates competitiveness in the global economy.…”
