| dc.description.abstract | In addressing the dismal performance of the export sector in Ethiopia, it is important to look at the percentage contribution of each sector and also the factors that affect the growth of the respective sector. Analysis of sectoral contribution to international trade confirms that in Ethiopia agriculture is found to be the single most important sector in terms of revenue generation contributing over 80% of foreign exchange earnings. Thus, in trying to disentangle the effect of each policy instrument, we have used secondary time series data for 30 years where analysis of factors behind growth of the sectoral contribution suggests that output has been responsive both to price and structural factors emphasizing the importance of both factors as a tempo for growth in the agricultural sector. Results from the study indicate that price policy instruments such as real exchange rate devaluation and institutional factors such as fertilizer consumption do have a significant and positive impact on aggregate agricultural exports. Results from individual export product (chat) are also in conformity with the above result suggesting that policy makers should use both to expand export from the sector. | en_US |
