Exports and Employment: A Case Study

Author

Listed:

Abstract

This study examines the contribution of export expansion to employment creation. This issue has been analysed in the past by using a static input-output framework. We argue that the use of this method is, at best, a mechanical exercise and does not provide any theoretical foundation to measure the relationship between exports, output and employment. In particular, it does not say anything about the transmission mechanism as to how export expansion affects employment. We construct a four-equation simultaneous equation model in which exports, output and employment are determined simultaneously. We disaggregate the total exports into eleven categories and examine their contributions in employment generation.
