Abstract

This paper investigates the export-growth relationship for the Malaysian agricultural sector using a three variable vector autoregressive (VAR) model. The model was subjected to three different causality tests procedure: Granger causality, Hsiao�s technique and variance decomposition. The results indicate that growth of gross domestic product (GDP) causes exports in two of the three test procedures employed.
