Abstract

The present chapter examines the impact of significant sectors of the Greek economy and their relationship with economic growth. The variables employed for this study involve tourism-generated GDP, money supply, construction and taxation, and economic growth in Greece while the methodology employed is the multivariate autoregressive VAR model. The long-term relationship between GDP and the variables examined was validated for the period between 1965 and 2015. According to our findings, the “growth engine” for Greece seems to be tourism, rather than the manufacturing sector, while they confirm a shift away from the tertiary toward the primary sector. The results provide policy-makers with effective policy tools for the simultaneous economic growth of the two aforementioned sectors.
