This paper explores bidirectional effects between industrial production and stock markets / exchange markets in a sample of five countries (USA, UK, Japan, Greece, Canada).
The aim is to investigate the existence of causality, the direction and the interdependencies between variables. To complete the investigation we made use of various econometric techniques such as Vector Autoregressive Model (VAR), the Granger causality and Impulse Response Analysis.
Τhe empirical results of the study show that: a) there is bidirectional effects between industrial production and stock markets in the USΑ and England. But there is not for Japan and Canada. In Greece only the stock markets affect industrial production b) there is bidirectional effects between industrial production and foreign exchange markets in Japan. But there is no interdependence in the USA, England and Greece. For Canada only currency markets affect industrial production.
Finally, we use a dummy variable that international crises seems to predict the USA stock markets and inflation in England.
