Abstract: This study aims to investigate the Feldstein-Horioka hypothesis for North Cyprus using ARDL bounds test for cointegration for period 1983–2012. The robustness of the ARDL was done by the newly developed Bayer-Hanck (2013) combined cointegration test. The empirical results revealed that both savings and investments are cointegrated, while the findings from the long-run and short-run analysis validate the F-H hypothesis suggesting, that North Cyprus have closed-economy in which domestic investments are related to domestic savings. Furthermore, investment converges to its long-run equilibrium position by 43.95% speed of adjustments using channel of savings. Finally, the result of Granger causality under the framework of ECM suggests that savings cause investment in short-run, long-run and both joint short-run and long-run causality.
