Using a multivariate framework, it is primarily found that all the variables are not integrated of order one (I). Since the series are not stationary, cross-dependence tests and Westerlund (2007) cointegration analysis are performed to the series and it is determined that the series are cross-dependent and cointegrated. Then, the models are estimated with three estimators by writing the panel as panel ARDL model to determine the long-term and short-term relations. The results of the study indicate a general long-run equilibrium connection between economic growth, trade openness and banking sector depth as well as a short-run connection among these variables. Policy suggestions include those that will increase greater banking sector depth as well as promoted trade openness. } journal = { Alphanumeric Journal }, year = { 2019 }, volume = { 7 }, number = { 2 }, pages = { 205-238 }, url = { https://alphanumericjournal.com/article/the-nexus-of-economic-growth-trade-openness-and-banking-sector-depth-in-oic-an-application-of-panel-data-analysis }, }
