Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to determine the causal relationship between trade openness and financial development in non oil and oil exporting developing countries using a VAR model. The results indicate that there is a variety of causal directions in these countries. Therefore, we cannot conclude on one causal direction for all countries or a group of countries (such as developing countries, non oil and oil exporting countries).
