Abstract: |
In this paper Granger's test is employed
to examine the causal relationship between the size of the export sector
and national income per capita (as well as their respective growth
rates) for China for the period 1952-85. Our empirical results favor a
bi-directional causal sequence between these two variables. However,
these findings disappear when a similar test is used for the sub-period
1952-78. The difference in results between these two sample periods
points to a change in causal relation after 1978 which coincides with
the adoption of an "outward looking" strategy by the Chinese government
in that same year. |
