The study seeks to explore the extent to which macroeconomic variables affect the stock market behavior in the emerging market of Malaysia in the post 1997 financial crisis period, using the latest time series econometrics technique to test for cointegration, namely, the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model. The estimation of results suggest that real effective exchange rate, money supply, industrial production index, and federal funds rate seem to be suitable targets for the government to focus on, in order to stabilize the stock market and to encourage more capital flows into the economy.

Abstract

The study seeks to explore the extent to which macroeconomic variables affect the stock market behavior in the emerging market of Malaysia in the post 1997 financial crisis period, using the latest time series econometrics technique to test for cointegration, namely, the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model. The estimation of results suggest that real effective exchange rate, money supply, industrial production index, and federal funds rate seem to be suitable targets for the government to focus on, in order to stabilize the stock market and to encourage more capital flows into the economy. Changes in U.S. monetary policy as measured by the changes in the federal funds rate seem to also have a significant direct impact on the Malaysian stock market behavior during the period of analysis. This implies that any changes in the U.S. monetary policy affect the Malaysian stock market.

L’étude se concentre sur les effets des variables macroéconomiques sur la performance du marché des capitaux après la crise financière de 1997, en utilisant le modèle ARDL. Les résultats suggèrent que le taux d’échange effectif réel, l’offre de monnaie, l’index de production industrielle et le taux sur les fonds fédéraux semblent des cibles pour le gouvernement afin de promouvoir la stabilisation du marché des capitaux et d’encourager des flux ultérieurs de capital. De même, les changements de la politique monétaire des Etats-Unis ont aussi un impact direct sur les marché des capitaux de Malaisie.
