Rwakalaza 9 Ths sudy examnes he naure and drecon of causaly n Tanzana beween economc growh and agrculural expors along wh some seleced varables such as labour force and domesc nvesmen. The analyss for hs sudy was carred ou usng me seres daa for he perod of 198 o 13. The daa seres were esed for saonary usng Phllps-perron es and he resuls revealed ha hey were all saonary and negraed of order one I(1). The Johansen es of conegraon revealed ha here are conegrang vecors n he sysem. The Granger causaly es resuls revealed no any suppor of he expor-led growh (ELG) hypohess for Tanzana. However, he growh-led expors (GLE) hypohess for Tanzana was suppored by he resuls of hs sudy, mplyng ha he governmen of Tanzana needs o promoe growh n order o generae expors.

2 Afrcan Journal of Economc Revew, Volume III, Issue, July Inroducon Economc Growh s possbly he leadng goal of polcy makers worldwde (Hernandez, 11). I s a convenonal wsdom among polcy makers and academcs ha expors are key facor n promong economc growh n developng counres (Dreger, 11). One concern s ha many developng counres are heavly dependen on prmary commody expors o developed counres (UNCTAD, 5). In achevng he goal of economc growh, approaches of aanng hs goal do vary across and whn counres over me. Expor promoon s among he approaches commonly used o acheve hs goal due o s observed success n Asan economc gers; Souh Korea, Tawan, Hong Kong, and Sngapore (Krueger 1985). By early 198 s expor-led orenaon and expor promoon had already secured a wde consensus among researchers and polcy makers o he exen ha hey had become convenonal wsdom among mos economss n he developng world (Balassa, 1985). Ths was he case even o he mullaeral organzaons such as he World Bank and Inernaonal Moneary Fund (IMF), herefore many developng counres were forced o smulae her expor-led orenaon even more because mos of hem had o rely on mullaeral organzaons o mplemen adjusmen and sablzaon programmes (Emlo, 1). However, here are sreams of pas leraures whch show dfferen conflcng and mxed resuls whch rase a number of quesons on expor and economc growh relaonshps. These sudes are caegorzed no cross seconal analyss whch manly used rank correlaon analyss and lnear regresson models ( see Keesng, 1967; Krueger, 1985, Gles and Wllams, ) and me seres sudes (see Manzoor, 9; Merza, 7 Mshra 9 and Casro-zunga,4). One sream of leraure spulaes ha expor s he engne of growh (see Balasa, 1978; Feder, 198; Perry Sadorsky 1996) herefore hese emprcal sudes provdes suppor for he expor led growh paradgm. The oher sream of leraure ndcaes economc growh o be he engne of expor growh (See Al-Yousf, 1999; Henrques and Sadorsky, 1996). The hrd sream ndcaes a bdreconal relaonshp beween he wo (See Shombe, 5; Snoha-Lopee, 4). Mos of he sudes debang on he expor led growh hypohess were done n developed counres; few have been done n LDC s ncludng Afrca such as ha of Musonda, 7. However, we found only one publshed sudy by Shombe (5), nvesgang causal relaonshps among agrculure GDP, manufacurng GDP and expors n Tanzana by usng me seres daa for he perod beween 197 and 5. He also suppored he expor led paradgm. Agrculure s one of he leadng secors of Tanzana s economy, he economy s herefore agraran (ESRF, 9). I has conrbued subsanally o he real GDP and foregn exchange earnngs and s lnkages have been hgher han hose of oher secors (URT, ). Beween he year 1987 and, agrculural conrbuon o he GDP was beween 48. percen and 5 percen, and foregn exchange earnngs were 54 and 56 percen respecvely (URT, ). To manan economc growh Tanzana lke oher counres uses expor promoon as one of he approaches (Shombe, 8). Expor promoon has been mplemened usng varous sraeges n he counry such as esablshmen of expor processng zones so as o speed up ndusralzaon for expor marke. Also on followng he pah of expor led growh he governmen of Tanzana esablshed he naonal expor sraegy whch amed a crcally assessng he recen expor performance and rends, and hghlghng he obsacles o 75 Page

Wh regard o rade he naonal expor sraegy has drawn upon a number of recen naves ncludng: Tanzana Trade and Inegraon Sraegy, Inegraed Framework process, Draf Prvae Secor Developmen Sraegy, 1996 Expor Developmen Sraegy, and he Quck Wns Expor Sraegy. Whle many sudes have shed some lgh and brough he relaonshp of expor and growh o he fore of academc dscusson, he leraure s sll very much lmed n Tanzanan conex. Alhough agrculural expors are mporan sources of foregn exchange, here s no recen emprcal evdence assessng he shor and long erm effecs of agrculural expors expanson on economc growh. Thus, hs paper herefore aemps o nvesgae he exsence of shor-run and long-run relaonshps beween agrculural expors and economc growh n Tanzana, also o examne he exsence of causal relaonshp beween agrculural expors and economc growh. The remander of hs sudy s organzed as follows. Whle secon gves model specfcaon, secon 3 repors he emprcal resuls. Secon 4 concludes.. Model specfcaon and Daa The heorecal model use neoclasscal framework heory of nernaonal free rade. The model ncorporaes expor no he cob-douglas producon funcon as follows: Y f ( K, L, X ) (1) Where Y s oupu, K s capal, L s Labour and X s agrculural expor. Ths sudy uses me seres daa of real gross domesc produc (GDP) a proxy for economc growh, real agrculural expor (EXP), gross fxed capal formaon a proxy for domesc nvesmen (DI) and labour force (LAB) from 198 o 13. Our daa have been obaned from UNCTAD daabase and all daa are ransformed no he naural logarhmc form o address he problem heeroscedascy.

Narayan and Smyh (8), and Odhambo (9) emphaszes ha he error correcon based causaly es, as opposed o he convenonal Granger causaly mehod, allows for he ncluson of he lagged error correcon erm derved from he conegrang equaons. Includng he lagged error-correcon erm allows he long-run nformaon los hrough dfferencng o be renroduced n a sascally accepable way. Therefore, we specfy he vecor error correcon framework (VECM) o examne a Granger ype of causaly wh an error correcon mechansm s gven as follows: e lgdp a lexp = a ldi a llab a k lgdp 1ECT lexp + ECT 3 ldi 3ECT 4 llab 4ECT e + e e e (5) Where: GDP = Real Gross Domesc Produc, Gross Domesc Invesmen, LAB = Labour Force, EXP = Real Agrculural Expors, 's,, 's, DI = Real ECT = Error Correcon Term, a1,...,a 4 are consan erms n a VEC model, 's and are he coeffcen of, GDP EXP DI, LAB and ECT respecvely, e1,..., e4 are error erms ha are assumed o be whe nose.
