Gabriel Owusu Okyere , Department of Mathematics, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi, Ghana

Abstract

This study employs Granger causality analysis to investigate the causal relationships among key macroeconomic variables in Ghana. By examining the direction and strength of causality, we unveil the dynamic interplay between these variables. Our findings shed light on the complex economic dynamics in Ghana, providing valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders seeking to enhance economic stability and growth in the region.
