A simple model is formulated to show that real economic activities, stock prices, real interest rates and real money balances are linked in the long run. An empirical analysis is then conducted for the case of Malaysia based on two sub-periods. The first sub-period is before the implementation of selective capital controls by the authority and the second sub-period is since the adoption of this regime. Long-run cointegration is found among the variables, supporting the theory. Before the controls, both money supply and interest rates are effective in leading the real economic activities. Given its endogeneity, the money supply cannot be used as a monetary tool under a fixed exchange rate regime, and the interest rate has an active rule to play in this case. Its effect in leading the real economic activities, however, is limited rendering the conduct of monetary policy more difficult since the implementation of capital controls. Thus, the source of adjustments to deviations from the long-run relationships in the system mainly stems from the asset market during the second sub-period. When the stock market is performing well generally, the level of real economic activities do not seem to lead stock price movements and the stock prices do not lag behind interest rate changes. Some elements of self fulfilling bubbles exist in the first sub-period. However, the stock market is found to be a leading indicator of the level of economic activities when the market is generally bullish.
