Abstract: The study examines the empirical validity of cointegration and causality between the two dominating Indian stock markets: the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE). The daily closing values of the BSE Sensex and the NSE Nifty indices are retrieved from the PROWESS online database maintained by the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE). The study covers a period of nine years spanning from 1 January 1997 to 31 December 2005. The analysis reveals the existence of market integration between the BSE and the NSE. This demonstrates information dissemination between these two markets. The study further confirms the role of NSE as a dominating factor over BSE.
