Abstract

This paper estimates long-run and short-run trade elasticities of export demand for Guyana, Jamaica, and Trinidad and Tobago. To that end, a traditional export demand model is estimated for all three countries in the study using the bounds test for analyzing level relationships within the conditional autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) framework. This study finds that for all three countries the price-centered variables in the model are statistically significant with their correct theoretical signs in the longrun and short-run. Moreover, the study finds that for all three countries, the estimated coefficients for the foreign activity variable are positive and statistically significant in both the long-run and the short-run. - Questo studio stima l’elasticità nel lungo e nel breve periodo della domanda dell’export in Guyana, Giamaica e Trinidad e Tobago. A questo fine si utilizza un modello tradizionale di domanda dell’export per i tre paesi considerati nello studio, utilizzando il bound test per analizzare le relazioni a intervallo distribuito autoregressivo condizionale. Questo lavoro evidenzia che per tutti e tre i paesi le variabili del modello basate sul prezzo sono statisticamente significative con i loro segni teoricamente corretti nel lungo e nel breve periodo. Inoltre vi è evidenza che per i tre paesi i coefficienti stimati per la variabile attività straniere sono positivi e statisticamente significativi sia nel lungo sia nel breve periodo.
