Purpose This study aims to investigate the influence of systemic banking crises, currency crises and global financial crisis on the relationship between export and economic growth in China by using the annual time series data from the period of 1972 to 2014. Design/methodology/approach The Johansen and Jeuuselius’ cointegration, auto regressive distributed lag bound testing cointegration, Gregory and Hansen’s cointegration and pooled ordinary least square techniques with error correction model have been used. Findings Results indicate the positive and significant effect of export of goods and services on economic growth in both long and short run, whereas the negative influence of systemic banking crises and currency crises over economic growth is observed. It is also concluded that the impact of export of goods and service on economic growth becomes insignificant in the presence of systemic banking crises and currency crises. The currency crises effect the influence of export on economic growth to a higher extent compared to systemic banking crises. Surprisingly, the export in the period of global financial crises has a positive and significant influence over economic growth in China, which conclude that the global financial crises did not drastically affect the export-growth nexus. Originality/value This paper makes a unique contribution to the literature with reference to China, being a pioneering attempt to investigate the effects of systemic banking crises and currency crises on the relationship of export and economic growth by using long-time series data and applying more rigorous econometric techniques.

This study examines the relationship between manufacturing exports and economic growth in Tanzania. The study is based on the export-led growth model and the virtuous circle to analyse the relationship. Using secondary time series data, the study employed the Autoregressive Distributed Lags (ARDL) approach and the Granger causality test technique for analysis. It was found that manufacturing exports affects economic growth in the long-run; and that, for Tanzania, manufacturing exports are the ones causing economic growth, and not the other way round. Therefore, the study concludes that there is a significant relationship between Tanzania's manufacturing exports and economic growth. It recommends policies, strategies and further efforts to be made to increase manufacturing products; encourage firms to produce quality products; invest in professional skills, education, and training; and increase external markets for manufactured products.

This paper aims to reveal the sources of the rapid growth of the Vietnamese economy since economic reform over the period 1986–2013. It applies the autoregressive distributed lags variance bounds test and the error correction model, focusing on the roles of globalization and aid in economic growth. The empirical evidence supports neither the export-led nor the FDI-led economic growth hypothesis. Rather, the increase in import values is revealed to have caused economic growth. When the import variable is excluded from the estimated model, aid inflows are shown to have caused the economic growth in Vietnam.
