An empirical investigation
Keywords:
export, GDP, GNP, VARAbstract
In this paper, analysis are carried with regard to exports and economic growth for the case of Kosovo. The analysis employ quarterly data over the period 2010 to 2021. Analysis are based on utilization of VAR, using 4 lags and the first difference (i.e. l(1) of integration of the variables. Finally, the analysis carry Granger Causality/Block exogeniety Wald tests. Results suggest there there is no long-run relationship between variables, given the fact that there is no cointegration of the variables. However, in the short-run results reveal bi-directional causal relationship, causality running from exports to GDP and vice versa, from GDP to exports. export
