- Abstract
A research study was conducted at the Institute of Agricultural and Resource Economics, University of Agriculture Faisalabad, Pakistan in 2014-15. Time series data of different macro variables (total export, GDP, population of Pakistan and UAE, rate of inflation and currency rate of Pakistan) were collected from different official sources for the period of 1975 to 2012. Total export of Pakistan to UAE is dependent variable, while explanatory variables are GDP, population of Pakistan and UAE, rate of inflation, energy shortfall, trade openness as a dummy and currency rate of Pakistan. Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test was used to check the stationarity of data. The results showed that all variables were stationary at first difference. The regression analysis shows that GDP of Pakistan, trade openness and depreciation of Pakistan rupee had positive and significant impact on total export of Pakistan to UAE, while GDP of UAE, energy shortfall, increase in inflation rate and Pakistan population had negative and significant impact on total export. The results of study suggest to improve and implement the export policies by using the appropriate managerial strategies in increasing domestic production, targeting high valued markets and creating awareness regarding the importance of factors of exports.
