Abstract
This study provides evidence for the relationship between private credit, stock market indicators, income inequality, and poverty. Using the annual data that ranges from 1992 to 2018 on 9 African economies. We had applied the estimation method of the Autoregressive Distributed Lag Model (ARDL) to model the long-run effect. Besides, we use Dumitrescu and Hurlin Panel causality to test for checking the direction of causality. The results of long-run estimates indicate that the stock market indicators have a significant positive impact on income inequalities, but have a negative and significant impact on poverty. Further, our findings show that private credit adversely reduces income inequalities. Our results also establish significant short-run causalities among stock market indicators, private credit, income inequalities, and Poverty.
