Abstract

This study is an investigation of demand factors behind Pakistan’s export performance at three digit level of Standard International Trade Classification (SITC). It applies generalized method of moments on annual data of nine categories for a period from 1988 to 2009. The study elicits variations in price and expenditure elasticities for different categories of export commodities which were masked in the aggregate studies.
