Correlation between BET Index Evolution and the Evolution of Transactions’ Number – Analysis Model

Open access
The Bucharest Exchange Trading (BET) index and the total number of the transactions displayed between January and September 2015 by the The Bucharest Stock Market represents the topic of the present approach in regard to the intensity of the relation between them, using the simple regression function as mathematical mean. More studies were completed with the aim of establishing the relevance of these two variables, be it dependant or independent. The correlation between the evolution of the BET index and the number stock transactions was important for the present study, as well as the correlation between the total number of transactions and the stock transaction number that revealed itself as very powerful. Simple linear regression model is a relatively easy and very effective way to establish the correlation between two economic indicators. Thus, the use of this analysis method in economic research allows determining how a given economic variable, defined as independent determines the evolution of the second results indicator.
