Factors that influence the exports of Pakistan

Abstract

The exports of Pakistan have fluctuated very wildly for several decades. This paper aims to find out what the factors that influence the exports of Pakistan are. With the help of the latest econometric techniques and regression models, we find that the agriculture growth rate, the commodities producing the sector growth rate, domestic saving, inflation, the manufacturing sector growth rate, the Gross National Product (GNP) per capita, the total consumption and school enrolment are the main factors that influence the exports of Pakistan during the observed period of 1972-2005.
