Abstract
The paper examines trade policy and economic growth for Bangladesh.
The paper has employed cointegration and multivariate Granger Causality test
developed by Toda and Yamamoto (1995) to study the long-run and short-run
dynamics among exports growth, imports growth and real output growth over the
period 1973 to 2002. Our results strongly support a long-run relationship among
the three variables for Bangladesh. The results show feedback effects between
exports and output growth and also between imports and output growth in the
short-run. A strong feedback effects between import growth and export growth
has also been established.
