摘要:This study investigates the impact of Macroeconomic factors on stock market behavior considering the Indian data. Monthly data of five macroeconomic variables, namely, industrial production index, inflation, money supply, short term interest rate exchange rates and stock market index over the period 1994:04–2011:04 have been used for the analysis. Johansen’s co-integration and vector error correction model have been applied to explore the long-run equilibrium relationship between stock market index and abovementioned macroeconomic variables. The analysis reveals that macroeconomic variables and the stock market index are co-integrated and, hence, a long-run equilibrium relationship exists between them. It is evident that the stock prices positively relate to the money supply and industrial production but negatively relate to inflation. The exchange rate and the short-term interest rate are found to be insignificant in determining stock prices. In the Granger causality sense, macroeconomic variable causes the stock prices in the long-run as well as in the short-run.
