Abstract
This study investigates the cointegration between institutional quality (IQ) and stock market development (SMD) of Pakistan, over the period 1996-2016. We use robust autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bounds test to cointegration and error correction model (ECM) for estimation purpose. Empirical findings of ARDL bounds test ratify cointegration between IQ and SMD − while controlling for inflation. Moreover, the result of the ECM confirms the dynamic and long-run equilibrium association. Literature reveals that there is no formal evidence of IQ on SMD in the context of Pakistan. Thus, this research endeavor contributes to existing literature in this vital area. The study examines cointegration between IQ and SMD in Pakistan that limits the generalizability of findings. Nevertheless, it offers valuable policy implications to Pakistan’s stock market regulators, government bodies and investors. The researchers may expand the research question to the Asian region regarding IQ and its impact translated by capital markets.
