The central issues with which this study is concerned revolve around the major determinants of agricultural export instability in Nigeria. Specifically, the study examined the relationship between oil export and the agricultural export performance in Nigeria. In trying to achieve this objective, an ordinary least square multiple regression approach was adopted for the data analysis. Some statis...

Theories suggesting either static or dynamic productivity gains derived from exports often assume the prior existence of a perfect market. In the presence of market failure, however, the competition effect and the resource reallocation effect of exports on productive efficiency may be greatly reduced; and there may actually be disincentives for innovation. This paper analyses the impact of expo...

abstract in the recent decades, the iranian economy has been highly depended on oil revenues. considering the fact that a great part of non-oil exports are agricultures product, studying factors influencing growth of agricultural sector plays an important role in the iran's economy. supply domestic shocks and domestic demand pressure along with deviation of exchange rates from its equilibrium, ...

This paper builds a model of two types of Chinese exports, those processed and assembled laregely from imported inputs ("processed" exports) and "nonprocessed" exports. Based on this model, the sensitivity of Chinese exports to exchange rate changes is empirically examined. Unlike previous work, the estimation period includes the net real appreciation of the renminbi that has occurred over the ...

This paper applies dynamic specification approach and error correction model form to construct a quarterly foreign trade model of China at the aggregate level for the period of 1992-2004. The empirical results indicate China’s imports and exports depend on each other both in the long run and short run, which reflects the special and importance role of processing trade in China. Imports respond ...

Each of the world's largest retailers---Walmart, Carrefour, Tesco, and Metro---entered China after 1995. Their subsequent expansion in China may have influenced Chinese exports through two channels. First, they may have enhanced bilateral exports between the retailers' Chinese operations and destination countries also served by stores in the retailers' networks. Second, Chinese city-level expor...

This study investigated the export-led growth hypothesis in Nigeria. The examined long-run and short-run equilibrium relationships between exports; imports economic over period. used Johansen co-integration technique, granger causality, vector error correction mechanism analysis of data. variables were found to have same order integration empirical evidence strongly suggested existence relation...
