Abstract: | We explore the short-run dynamics and long-run relationship between income and financial development in Algeria, Egypt, and
Morocco. We use co-integration and VECM models and four indicators of financial development. The empirical results indicate
that there is a long-run relationship between income and each financial development indicator, except credit to the private
sector in Algeria. On the other hand, Granger-causality test results indicate that the evidence on the direction of causality
is mixed.
