Raza Ali Khan, et. al. present an empirical examination of Malaysian Construction Sector (MCS), through the development of a time series model equation under vector error correction (VEC) system. The estimated model is able to develop the impulse response functions (IRFs) for the purpose of examining the behavior and response of MCS against the positive shocks produced in other major sectors of the economy and vice versa. The results suggest that the MCS is relatively small in size and contribution to GDP; however, it has strong correlation and long and short run association with all major sectors of the economy.
