Abstract

This paper empirically investigates export-led growth hypothesis in total Malaysian exports and exports to dynamic Asia-Pacific and non-Asia-Pacific countries by using a three-variable vector autoregressive (VAR) model. The model was subjected to three different causality test procedures; Granger’s causality, Hsiao’ s technique and variance decomposition. The results indicate that export-led growth hypothesis is supported in two out of three series used and exports to Asia-Pacific counties have helped Malaysia to enjoy a high growth rate.
