economic root test unit, integration test and Granger Causality test are used.
According to this study, the empirical results showed that the data is stationary at
level. The finding also shown the results integrate in long run relationship between
inflation rate and economic growth rate. The Granger Causality test did not show
bidirectional between economic growth rate and inflation rate. But, a uni-directional
causality is found from inflation rate to economic growth rate. Hence, there is exist
short run causality between variables in uni-directionally.
