GRANGER CAUSALITY POLA KONSUMSI IKAN DI ACEH TENGAH MENGGUNAKAN ANALISISI VECTOR ERROR CORRECTION MODEL (VECM)

Development of human resources is very important in promoting economic growth, because humans are not only objects in development but also play a role as a subject. Stunting is a major problem that inhibits the quality of human resources, to reduce the amount of human development that lives by stunting is to increase the consumption of protein contained in fish.
