Exports and Economic Growth

Abstract

This paper focuses on a new estimate of Feder (1982)'s model on productivity and externality effect of exports in six Asian countries. Econometric issues are addressed with the use of cross-sectional analysis.The results show that the coefficient of the model reduce substantially when the analysis is adjusted for stationarity. The effect of exports on growth and productivity is found to be positively significant and the export sector is found to have a positive effect on non-export sector.However, the extent of externality effect will depend on several factors such as size, policy orientation of exports, concenration of export products and processing level of export. Abstrak Kajian ini menumpukan kepada suatu anggaran baru model Feder (1982) keatas produktiviti dan kesan luaran sektor eksport bagi enam buah negara Asia. Isu-isu ekonometrik dibincang apabila analisis silang rentas digunakan.Keputusan kajian ini menunjukkan bahawa pengkali bagi model Feder berkurangan apabila analisis dibuat setelah penyelarasan bagi kepegunan dibuat.Kesan eksport ke atas pertumbuhan dan produktiviti didapati signifikan secara positif dan sektor eksport didapati mempunyai kesan luaran positif keatas sektor bukan eksport.Walau bagaimanapun, tahap kesan luaran tersebutbergantung kepada beberapa faktor seperti saiz, polisi orientasi eksport, pemusatan produk eksport dan tahap pemprosesan eksport.
