Abstract

This study provides empirical evidence in support of the hypothesis that imports of intermediate and capital goods are critical inputs in the export production of the country. Thus, any short-run divergence in trade balance due to these would lead to higher exportable surplus in the long-run. In this context, the study estimates a semi-reduced export equation, for a sample of 1973-2005 annual data, through Ordinary Least Square method. The results indicate that in Pakistan’s case, there is a long-run relation between exports and imports of intermediate and capital goods.Length: 22 pages
