Evidence of long-run and short-run relationships among the variables is established. The results showed thatMCU has positive influence on RGDP while LMO affects RGDP positively. It also showed that GINVEXP hasnegative effect on RGDP whereas LM2 influenced RGDP positively. More so, evidence of unidirectional causalityis established between RGDP and MCU, LMO and LM2.
