Abstract

The present research aims to examine the effect of manufacturing activity on global economic growth during 1995-2015. We use data collected by the World Development Indicators (2019) and cointegration techniques to explore the relationship between manufacturing and economic growth with high economic instability. Using an error correction model, we verify the existence of a short-term relationship between economic growth and manufacturing. Furthermore, we found Granger's (1988) causality between the two variables with medium-high per capita income. An economic policy implication derived from this research is the creation of industrial development programs in those underdeveloped economies to balance income differences concerning other regions with a more significant industry.
