Abstract: Abstract This paper examines the effects of economic incentives on exports in general, and on agricultural exports in particular, in the developing countries. Section 1 introduces a simple econometric model to estimate the effects of price incentives on exports. In Section 2, the model is applied to the exports of goods and non-factor services and to merchandise exports. In Section 3, the same model is used to indicate the effects of price incentives on agricultural exports. Finally, Sections 4, 5, and 6 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.
