Amiri, Arshiya (2011): Relationship between exports, imports, and economic growth in France (1990-2018).

Abstract

In this letter article, I tried to investigate the possible association between exports imports and GDP growth in France using the statistical technique of time series analysis. As exports and imports play a key role in the variation and the path of GDP theoretically, it is important for government to have a correct information of interaction between net expert and economic growth to reduce and prevent the financial burden of imports on the GDP growth of France. Results show that there is not any meaningful relationship between GDP and exports or imports in France in the period of 1990-2018.
