Abstract: Abstract This essay will examine the effects of economic incentives on exports in general, and on agricultural exports in particular, in the developing countries. Section I will introduce a simple econometric model to estimate the effects of price incentives on exports. In Section II, the model will be applied to the exports of goods and nonfactor services and to merchandise exports. In Section III, the same model will be used to indicate the effects of price incentives on agricultural exports. Sections IV, V, and VI will present information on the responsiveness of merchandise and agricultural exports to incentives in the 1960–73, 1973–8, and 1978–81 periods, respectively, by making use of intercountry comparisons.
