description |
The purpose of this study is to investigate the causal relationship between exports,
imports and economic growth in the case of Malaysia empirically. This study also
determined the existence of long-run relationship between exports, imports and
economic growth of Malaysia. The time series data used in this study are the annual
data for real gross domestic products (current U. S. dollar), real exports of goods and
services (current U. S. dollar) and real imports of goods and services (current U. S.
dollar) as a proxy of economic growth, exports and imports respectively. Annual data
of GDP deflator is also used to obtain real GDP, real exports and real imports from
their nominal data in this study. The period cover is from 1960 to 2013. All nominal
data for variables are obtained from the World Bank Data Online. Methods used in
this study are co-integration test and Granger causality test. The results show that
there is bidirectional causality among exports and economic growth while no
causality among imports and economic growth. Long-run relationship exists among
exports and economic growth while it did not exist among imports and economic
growth. The results did not support the expectations that both exports and imports
have causal relationship towards economic growth, hence suggests that there was
probably a multiplicity of factors at work. |
