Abstract:

In this study, the effects of exports on economic growth were analyzed for Developing Asian Countries by using data over the period 1980-2012 via the panel data analysis methods which consider cross-sectional dependency and multiple structural breaks. Cross-sectional dependence has been analyzed with CDLMadj of Pesaran and Yamagata (2008) and it was seen cross-sectional dependence among these countries. Stationarity of the series has been tested by means of the PANKPSS panel unit root test with multiple structural breaks of Carrion-i-Silvestre et al. (2005). It was seen series non-stationary in level and they became stationary in the first difference. Cointegration relationship between series was tested via the panel cointegration test with multiple structural breaks by developed Basher and Westerlund (2009) and cointegration relationship has been observed. Cointegration coefficients were estimated by means of the CCE and CCMGE methods by developed Pesaran (2006b). In the result of analysis, it has been determined that exports affects to economic growth positive and significantly, percent 10 increase in export, increases the economic growth by percent 1 in these countries.
