Most of this literature is concerned with bivariate relationships in a time series 'model free' setting, and little attempt has been made to consider the general usefulness of the Granger causality concept for economic modelling. In this paper, causality testing is examined in the context of a dynamic linear simultaneous equation econometric model, possibly with vector MA errors. Both the implications of Granger unidirectional causality and the procedure for testing are considered. The general multivariate autoregressive-moving average (ARMA) system
