The study finds that the variables are stationary at first difference — I(1). Also, the results reveal that all the variables are cointegrated, that is, they are related in the long run. The results of the ECT test within the framework of panel multivariate ECM confirm the cointegration tests. The paper concludes that there is a long-run relationship between financial globalization and economic growth in subSaharan Africa. The paper argues that sub-Saharan African economies will benefit from the era of financial globalization in the long run in as much as the governments promote and encourage sound macroeconomic policies and strong institutions. 2020-01-16T11:53:49Z 2020-01-16T11:53:49Z 2015 Journal DOI: 10.1111/1467-8268.12140 https://ir.oauife.edu.ng/handle/123456789/5066 en application/pdf Blackwell Publishing Ltd
