This empirical analysis has employed the difference model, dynamic model, error correction model and vector error correction model to validate the relationship between unemployment rate and economic growth suggested by Okun’s Law. The error correction and vector error correction models in this empirical study specify that, there is short run and long run equilibrium relationship between unemployment rate and economic growth in the Sri Lankan economy.
