| dc.description.abstract | This paper identified some of the main determinants of agricultural export in Ethiopia for the period 1980-2010. To test empirically the relationship between agricultural export performance and its major selected determinants such as terms of trade, gross domestic product, domestic price, world price, kilometers paved roads and fertilizer input import over a period; cointegration and error correction approaches in the regression analysis were used. The results from the cointegration and error correction models revealed that all the above listed explanatory variables significantly affected agricultural export performance in the long run except domestic price. In the short run, gross domestic product (GDP) became insignificant and negative in sign which was unexpected. Domestic price was also insignificant like in the case of long run. However, except these two variables other variables were found to significantly affect the agricultural export performance of the country. On the other hand, out of the variables significantly affected agricultural export both in the long run and short run; terms of trade, world price, fertilizer input import over a period and kilometers of paved roads affected agricultural export positively as expected. Especially when we look at the magnitude by which kilometers of paved road affected the dependent variable both in the long run and in the short run positively and significantly, it can be regarded as one of the key finding in this study. | en_US |
