| description | Export has been considered as main contributor to economic growth in which also known as export-led growth (ELG)
hypothesis. The purpose of this study is to identify the export-led growth nexus in Malaysia. Specifically, this study focuses
on disaggregated level of exports such as export of goods and manufactured sectors. By using ARDL co-integration
technique for data that covers from 1980 to 2015, the result discovers that exports have positive impact on economic
growth, particularly at disaggregated levels of exports namely exports of goods and export of manufactured sectors.
This further supports the validation of the export-led growth hypothesis, especially in small, open and dynamic economy
like Malaysia. From policy point of view, Malaysia policy makers should give special focus to search for better catalyst
of exports promotion strategy to continuously and effectively promote long-term economic growth. |
