Abstract
The rationale behind this analysis is to analyze the role of agricultural exports in the economic growth of Pakistan using annual data for the period 1980 to 2010. We have estimated simultaneous equation model using Generalized Method of Moments (GMM). Empirical results of this study validate the paradigm of export led growth in Pakistan showing positive contribution of agricultural exports in achieving economic growth. The study advocates foreign income and relative export price variables as critical determinants of export demand. It is also suggestive of the fact that domestic production capacity and export prices relative to domestic wholesale prices also have a positive effect on export supply to the world market.
