Exports and Savings in Asia: A Re-Examination

D Sinha

Studies in Economics and Econometrics, 1998, vol. 22, issue 2, 77-86

Abstract: The present study re-examines the export expansion hypothesis of Alfred Maizels following the earlier studies using data for Asian countries. It uses recent advances in time series to avoid the possibility of estimating spurious regressions. Specifically, it tests two different hypotheses following Wilbur and Haque (1992). First, it tests whether an augmented savings function, where savings is made a function of both exports and non-export components of GDP, performs better than the Keynesian savings function. Second, it tests whether the exports is a more significant explanatory variable of savings than the non-export component of GDP. The study finds general support for both the hypotheses.
