Abstract

This article empirically re-examines the export-led growth hypothesis in the context of Bangladesh using the quarterly data from 1973:1 to 2005:4. The standard time series econometric techniques, such as cointegration and Granger causality tests within the error correction modelling (ECM) are used for this purpose. The results from cointegration analysis suggest that there is stable long-run relationship between exports and income and the results from Granger causality test based on the ECM shows unidirectional causal relationship between exports and income. Thus, these results validate the country's export expansion programs to achieve long-run income growth.
