Abstract:

This paper, which is based on co-integration theory, uses the Engel-Granger test and Granger causality analysis to build a model which is used to verify the causal and effect relationship between web news and netizens’ information need in emergency situation. The result shows that there is a unidirectional causality from web news to netizens’ information need, and there is also an equilibrium relationship between web news and netizens’ information need.
