Have large budget deficits caused increasing trade deficits? Evidence from a developing country

Atlantic Economic Journal, 1997, vol. 25, issue 1, 80-90

Abstract: This paper investigates the relationship between budget and trade deficits on the basis of previous empirical work. Within the framework of cointegration analysis, error-correction modeling and Granger causality, the paper evaluates the validity of the Keynesian proposition (conventional view) and the Ricardian equivalence hypothesis. The error-correction modeling approach supports the Keynesian proposition in the short and long run. The empirical evidence reveals one-way causality from budget deficit to trade deficit.
