I employed the monthly data from Statistics Canada. By testing the unit root, cointegration, and Granger causality and using the econometric regression, I find that inflation rate, GDP, and real growth rate have significantly positive effects on interest rate.展开更多

Excessive investment has adverse impacts on both economic growth and macroeconomic stability. The main causes of this excessive investment are inappropriate growth strategies, low interest rates and weak constraints on government investment expenditure. To effectively control excessive investment, China needs to adjust its growth strategy, to speed up the process of interest rate marketization, and reform the existing public expenditure system.展开更多
