Export Performance and Economic Growth in Ethiopia : Export and Economic Growth

The study examined export performance and economic growth in Ethiopia, using a multivariate time series approach within a production function framework for the period 1960/61 to 2003/04. Consistent with expectations, export growth was positively related with output growth, regardless of the specification of the export variable. This work will help policy makers design appropriate initiatives, and will serve as a reference to subsequent research efforts in the area of export-led growth. It will be of great interest to academics and researchers of international economics, growth, development, and national and international development agencies.
